Hello! I’m Harry Smeltzer and welcome to Bull Runnings, where you'll find my digital history project on the First Battle of Bull Run which is organized under the Bull Run Resources section.

My mother always told me "never discuss politics or religion in mixed company”, and that's sound advice where current events are concerned.
