JOHN GROSS BARNARD was a career-engineering officer in the U.S. Army, and served as a general in the Union Army during the American Civil War. From 1861 to 1862, he served as Chief Engineer of the Army of the Potomac. WHEN THE UNION ARMY moved into Northern Virginia on May 24, 1861, Barnard oversaw the erection of fortifications on the Arlington hills. He accompanied the Army to Manassas in July 1861 and was present at the Union defeat at the First Battle of Bull Run (Manassas), where he recounts his experience here in, The C.S.A. and The Battle of Bull Run. KNOWN FOR BEING THE FIRST MAJOR land battle of the American Civil War, the Battle of Bull Run made known that the contest was to be a war, not a “sixty day” riot. Bernard wanted to vindicate the battle of Bull Run from the disgrace that had failed upon it, and to establish a claim for it in the category of well-planned and well-fought battles. AS SENIOR ENGINEER to General McDowell, Bernard provides a brief narrative of the General as well as a condensed view of official report of the commanding officer. The Appendix shows the various routes and panics, showing the turns and tides of the battle and various “routes and panics” used to win the battle. HOWEVER, THIS VOLUME is best known for it’s highly detailed
civil war maps in which ALL 5 MAPS ARE PRESENT. These are the field maps that accompanied General McDowell that gives the topography of the battles with much accuracy. As a whole, The C.S.A. and The Battle of Bull Run shows a first hand in depth account of one of the most important battles of the Civil War.
The book's overall condition is VERY GOOD: A tightly bound copy with mostly clean pages, all maps present, maps in great shape for age. A very scarce volume in excellent shape for age.
