The Rising Shadows
1 The Living Lincoln, edited by Paul M. Angle and Earl Schenck Miers, p. 639.
2 There are extensive discussions of Bull Run and of McDowell’s problems, in B. & L., Vol. I, pp. 167-259. An uncommonly useful handbook is Joseph Mills Hanson’s Bull Run Remembers. These two have been heavily relied on in the preparation of this section.
3 There is a good description of all of this in Sherman, Fighting Prophet, by Lloyd Lewis, pp. 177-79.
4 There are enough accounts of the Bull Run panic to satisfy all tastes. The classic, probably, is that of William Howard Russell, correspondent for the London Times. For his and other accounts, see The Blue and the Gray, pp. 106-15.
