Behind The Battles | Albert Sydney Johnston

This week, we cover General Albert Sidney Johnston, a distinguished military officer who served in the Texian Army, United States Army, and Confederate States Army. From his early days at West Point to his heroic actions in the Black Hawk War, Texas-Indian Wars, Mexican-American War, Utah War, and his ultimate sacrifice at the Battle of Shiloh during the American Civil War, Johnston’s 34-year career was marked by courage and leadership. Praised by Confederate President Jefferson Davis as one of the finest generals before Robert E. Lee, Johnston’s death at Shiloh was considered a turning point for the Confederacy.
