Bull Runnings is a First Battle of Bull Run digital history project. I also post thoughts on the project and commentary on the campaign and the Civil War.

I remember when Nicky Lopez was in AA and a big ol’ German Shepherd sprang loose from his owner. Nicky was at shortstop and solved the problem and made a friend.
