Interesting article I came across
https://boundarystones.weta.org/2024/07/21/first-battle-bull-run-and-its-foolhardy-picnickers
>When going out for a picnic, you might expect to enjoy good food, fun with friends, lovely nature and sunny weather. You probably don’t expect to end that picnic running for your life from an advancing army, hoping not to get captured or killed. But that’s just what happened to a group of picnickers one Sunday afternoon in 1861, just north of the city of Manassas. It was July 21st, the day of the first major battle of the American Civil War, or as it became known in the North, the First Battle of Bull Run. To tell the truth, those picnickers didn’t just become unlucky and happen to get in the way of the battle. They had actually chosen to go watch.
