The Guns of Bull Run: a Story of the Civil War's Eve

?The Guns of Bull Run? is the first in a series of eight books chronicling the Civil War. The Guns of Bull Run follows the adventures of Harry Kenton, a Southern sympathizer from Kentucky, who travels to South Carolina to volunteer his services to the new Confederacy. He soon finds himself swept up into greater events, being present at the inauguration of Jefferson Davis, the firing on Fort Sumter, and on to the battle of Bull Run. Written in 1913, this gripping story will transport readers back to a different place and time. Joseph Altsheler does a good job of presenting the Southern side in a realistic, non-preachy manner. Highly recommended to anyone interested in the Civil War.
