Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Battle of Young's Branch, or Manassas Plain, Fought July 21, 1861: With Maps of the Battle Field Made by Actual Survey, and the Various Positions of the Regiments and Artillery Companies Placed Thereon, With an Account of the Movements of Each, Procured From the Commanding Officer, or an Officer of the Regiment
The great battle, that unerringly tests the relative capacities of the two powers to sustain themselves in the unnatural con?ict has been fought, and we derive therefrom the comfortable assurance that the result of this battle clearly indicates the result of the war.
It is not contended that there will be no more bat tles - many have since been fought with like results - or, that there will be no more so extensive and so bloody; but, it is contended, that the Battle of Young's Branch, or Manassas Plain, has produced such feeling throughout the two sections as must almost inevitably result in the final triumph of the Confederate States - a feeling of misgiving that greatly intimidates the North, while an increased confidence stimulates the South to a more invincible determination to prosecute the defence. It has proven that the Federals do not think they are con tending for anything worth dying for; and, that the Confederates know they are fighting for every thing dear to a free people, and would prefer death to defeat. And, what is best of all, it has proven to both North and South that the Lord is on our side.
