Actually there were two separate battle of Bull Run- which has nothing to do with Bull-fighting. Obviously, being combat-seasoned the second engagement involved better-trained and seasoned troops on both sides. If I am not mistaken the second battle of Bull Run is known to the Confederates and their fans as Shiloh. Both a poem and a motion picture were done on a juvenile drummer caught up in the battle. It is poetically suggested the drummer died in the poem ( The Peach Blossoms fell on the drum) He survived the action in the Disney movie version called, appropriately, Johnny Shiloh. Obviously in Grey costume!

Irvin McDowell was a Brig. Gen. of the Union Troops in the Civil War. He led Union troops to battle at Manassas (or Bull Run). McDowell led his troops into the First and Second Battles of Bull Run. He made mistakes in both. One mistake was that he led his unready troops into battle to early and lost many men.
