About this ebook
In this long-forgotten but fascinating little book, former Confederate General Gustavus W. Smith took on one of the lions of the Rebel cause: his former superior, Joseph E. Johnston. It is Johnston's written treatment of the first Battle of Manassas (known by the Union forces as the 1st Battle of Bull Run) that Gustavus objected to and he laid out what he felt was compelling evidence that Johnston's attempt to enlarge his own role at the expense of G.T. Beauregard's was wrong.
From the official records of both Johnston and Beauregard and the testimony of others, as well as his own witnessing of events as a brigadier-general, Smith defends Beauregard and asks that history award him his due for the Confederate victory at Manassas.
