Note 15 — Chapter VI · THE FIRST BATTLE OF MANASSAS OR BULL RUN
Reading edition
“Had an attack,” said General Johnston, “been made in force, with double line of battle, such as any major-general in the United States service would now make, we could not have held [the position] for half an hour, for they would have enveloped us on both flanks.”—Campaigns of the Army of the Potomac, W. Swinton, p. 58.
