For the Union - Irvin McDowall. Sherman was also present.

For the Confederates - Joseph E. Johnston, who partly deferred to his junior colleague P.G.T. Beauregard on account of the latter's knowledge of the terrain. There was also Brigadier-General T.J. Jackson, who gained his nickname 'Stonewall' at this battle, though he was not famous at that time. The name came from a disputed remark by Brigadier-General Barnard Bee, who was mortally wounded immediately afterwards, so no-one could ask him what exactly he was saying.

The first major land battle of the Civil War is officially known as the First Battle of Bull Run, but is often referred to as the First Battle of Manassas in southern states, particularly in Virginia, where the town of Manassas is located. General Irvin McDowell led the Union troops, and Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard led the Confederate forces.

Another name frequently associated with that battle is then-Colonel Thomas Jackson, who, along with the brigade of Virginians he commanded, distinguished himself by standing his ground against a furious Union charge, and thereafter became known by the nickname "Stonewall."
