ExplicitFirst Battle of Bull Run – Story #1 On the morning of July21, McDowell sent his attack columns in a long march north toward Sudley Springs Ford.
The route took the Federals around the Confederate left.
To distract the Southerners, McDowell ordered a diversionary attack where Warrenton Turnpike crossed Bull Run at the Stone Bridge.
At 5:30 A.M., the deep-throated roar of a 30-pounder Parrott rifle shattered the morning calm and signaled the start of the battle.
