“Rebels to be overwhelmed” at First Manassas (aka “Bull Run”). Nothing like a little over-confidence with your morning coffee.

One of my GGGrandfathers was wounded at First Manassas. He was a corporal in the 49th Va on the left flank of Jackson’s brigade. He fought until late 1864 when captured in the Shenandoah Valley, rose to the rank of sergeant, was wounded again at the Wilderness, released from Point Lookout prison camp in Feb. 1865.
