Photographic War History. The War for the Union.1861-1865. No. 645. Picket Station, Blackburn’s Ford, Bull Run. This is a reserve picket station near Blackburn’s Ford, at Bull Run. The advance picket is stationed a short distance beyond this reserve station. In case of an attack the advance pickets commence firing, and gradually fall back on the reserve; then the reserve all along the line form and oppose the advance of the enemy as much as possible, and if crowded back, they retire slowly, fighting as they go; this gives time for the army to form and be prepared to give battle.
