(i) Bull Run (Occoquan River)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bull_Run_(Occoquan_River)
(a creek that originates from a spring in the Bull Run Mountains in Virginia
and is a tribute of Occoquan River, which in turn empties into Potomac
River)
(ii) First Battle of Bull Run
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Battle_of_Bull_Run
(also known as the First Battle of Manassas (the name used by Confederate
forces); fought on July 21, 1861; near the City of Manassas; the first major
land battle of the American Civil War; Result[:] Confederate victory)
Quote:
"A brigade of Virginians under a relatively unknown colonel from the
Virginia Military Institute, Thomas J. Jackson, stood their ground and
Jackson received his famous nickname, "Stonewall Jackson".
"The name of the battle has caused controversy since 1861. The Union Army
frequently named battles after significant rivers and creeks that played a
role in the fighting; the Confederates generally used the names of nearby
towns or farms. The U.S. National Park Service uses the Confederate name for
its national battlefield park, but the Union name (Bull Run) also has
widespread currency in popular literature.
My comment: Please read the introductory section.
(iii) Second Battle of Bull Run
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Battle_of_Bull_Run
(Second Manassas, as it was called by the Confederacy; fought August 28–30,
1862; culmination of an offensive campaign waged by Confederate against
Union, and a battle of much larger scale and numbers than the First Battle
of Bull Run (First Manassas) fought in 1861 on the same ground; Result
Confederate victory)
