How many people fought on each side during the first battle of bull run?

From what I've read over the years it would be fair to state that if you include reserves for both sides the Union mustered 30,000 men and the Confederates mustered in 29,000 men for the First Battle of Bull Run or, as the Confederates called it, First Manassas. The Union saw 3,000 killed, wounded or missing and the Confederates lost 2,000. If you are interested in the First Battle of Bull Run check out the book, "Voices from the Civil War" It was the fist book I read about the Civil War and I liked it so much that I was compelled to read others. I have now read somewhere near 50 books on the subject and created over 100 web pages about that momentous time in American history.
