The first big battle of the Civil
War is approaching (Bull Run,
July 21.) For weeks the Northern
papers had been demanding that
the Union army at Washington
"lick the rebel army” and cap
ture Richmond. The Southern
Congress was to meet in Rich
mond July 20. 'ON TO RICH
MOND” was the war-ci y in every
paper, every public meeting; and
on the floor or Congress in
Washington ''DON'T LET THE
REBEL CONGRESS MELT'”
"No!” said Union Gen. Mc-
Dowell "We are not ready .” The
green Union troops could not,
said regular army officers, "form
ranks as companies, let alone
perform all the delicate ma
neuvers required in battle. They
can’t shoot. They have no
bayonet training they are
pea-green and worthless on the
battleground."
"The Southerners are in worse
shape,” McDowell was told,
iThey weren’t).
The volunteers had enlisted
for three months, they had to
fight soon, or they would be
home away from any fighting.
(The enlistment periods of two
regiments expired a day or so
before a battle, and they went
home. This led to charges of
"marching away from the sound
of battle”)
Ready or not. the battle had
to take place, and unlucky Gen.
McDowell had to make a show
of it . and practically every
paper broadcast the news The
Union army was moving out of
Washington, there would be a
battle near Manassas where
Beauregard had 25,000 or 40,000
troops iMcDowell cared, but the
papers did not seem to be
bothered by any Rebel opposi
tion. The Union army, said the
news, was going to take Rich
mond! The Union army did take
Richmond . . four years later
During that second week oi
July, the Union army prepared
itself for the fight around
Manassas And in the Confeder
ate camp the troops prepared
themselves Up in the Shenan
doah valley the Confederate
troops under Johnston got ready
for a quick trip to Manassas In
and around Williamsport and
Harper’s Ferry, the Union Army
under Patterson kept advancing
In an effort to "contain John
ston's army." to prevent John-

ston from helping Beauregard.
Johnston merely detailed a few
companies of cavalry to keep the
Yankees busy, and stood ready
to go to Bull Run. The North
was going to learn a lesson
it would take four years of bit ter
fiphfjra to capture Richmond.
(A few days after the battle
of oun nun and me Union de
feat. a soldier in the Union army
wrote home: “Well, I’m glad
that’s over. Now we can train
ourselves for real soldiering, and
the next time we’ll fight when
our General says so, not when
Horace Greeley (Editor of the
N Y. Tribune) wants us to!”)
Just the same, the North did
win a battle and a campaign
during the second week of July.
The battles of Rich Mountain
(July 12) and Carrick’s Ford
iJuly 13> in western Virginia
gave West Virginia to the Union
(and lost it to Virginia.) The
South lost more than 700 men
in killed, captured and wounded.
Gen. Robert 8. Garnett was
killed. He was the first General
on either side killed, but the
next week at Bull Run would
take a high toll of Generals.
Garnett was attempting to
fortify the mountain passes
against Union armies led by Mc-
Clellan and Rosecrans. Rose
crans discovered a secret path
up the mountain and surprised
and captured one of the Con
federate posts 553 officers and
men of the Southern forces sur
rendered.
Garnett was killed while pre
paring an ambush at Carrick’s
Ford His body with al! his be
longings were returned to his
family by old friends in the
Union army.
The Richmond Dispatch for
July 19 said that the disaster in
West Virginia was not due alone
to “faulty generalship,” but to
", . . treachery on the part of
the natives who guided the
march of the invader."
(Garnett had been in com
mand in Western Virginia only
a short time His opponents, Mc-
Clellan and Rosecrans, won
enough fame to give them im
portant army commands. Rose
crans won fame for the Battle
of Murfreesboro and the 1863-64
campaign which pushed Bragg’s
Confederate army out of Ten
nessee.
