Bull Run is another of the author's books with a period setting and firstperson narration. In this one, sixteen fictional characters give their accounts of the first major battle of the Civil War. Through the individual voices of the men and women, the blacks and whites, the northerners and southerners, Fleischman paints a vivid portrait of the bloodiest U.S. war. The portrait is multi-dimensional, including both historical information and the characters' thoughts and feelings. As in The Borning Room, this technique gives the reader a more comprehensive understanding of the time and the event.
