To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Had General Pope felt con- vinced that the force advancing to assail his rear was not a body of cavalry only, but an army corps under a commander so active and dangerous as Jackson, his operations on the Rappahannock would doubtless have terminated two days sooner. Thorough- fare Gap would have been defended ; and the conditions under which the great battles at Manassas were fought would have been changed.
General Stuart had pushed in advance with his cavalry, ascended the Bull Run Mountain by ...a winding and rocky road, to the right of the gap, and descending the eastern acclivity THE MAKCH TO MA.NASSAS. 277 taken his post again in front and on the flanks of the army, Avhich, on the afternoon of Tuesday, the 26th, reached the neigh- borhood of Manassas.
This march will always remain famous in history. It was the achievement of a leader fertile in resource, close in his cal- culation of time and material, and unerring in decision and exe- cution. Jackson had either outgeneralled or surprised the com- mander of the Federal forces, and General Pope, who up to that time had persistently kept his eyes upon the Confederate column in his front upon the Rappahannock, now found himself cut off from "Washington by a column in his rear, and forced to retreat or fight upon terms dictated by his adversary.
