I'm glad it worked, General Thomas J. Jackson got the nickname "Stonewall" at this battle. The Union named battles after bodies of water, hence Bull Run, The South after nearby cities, you could also think of this as First Manassas.

I've been following this work for few months now and really love it. It is easier to understand battles when you see animations of them.
Forrest said something about killing a Yankee for each of his horses that they shot. In the last days of the war, Forrest had killed 30 of the enemy and had 30 horses shot from under him. In a brief but savage conflict, a Yankee soldier "saw glory for himself" with an opportunity to kill the famous Confederate General... Forrest killed the fellow. Making 31 Yankees personally killed, and 30 horses lost...

He remarked, "I ended the war a horse ahead."

Nice Find!
I always thought that shows like "Ken Burns:Civil War" could do with more of this style of presentation.
