Biographical/Historical Sketch:
Albert Sidney Johnston (February 2, 1803-April 6, 1862)
Johnston was born in Washington, Kentucky, to Dr. John and
Abigail Johnston. Albert Johnston was educated under the
direction of private tutors and later attended Transylvania
University, where he excelled in Mathematics and Latin. In 1822,
he was appointed to the United States Military Academy, where he
earned honors in Mathematics and acquired the rank of corps
adjutant as a first-classman. He graduated as a brevet 2nd
lieutenant, 2nd Infantry, and subsequently served at Sackett's
Harbor, New York (1826). On June 1, 1827, he took a commission
of 2nd lieutenant, joining the 6th Infantry at Jefferson
Barracks, Missouri. He participated in the Black Hawk War as
regiment adjutant.
Johnston married Henrietta Preston on January 20, 1829. On April
24, 1834, he resigned his commission because his wife was ill.
She died on August 12, 1835, leaving two children in her
husband's care.
After a short period at farming in St. Louis, Missouri, Johnston
moved to Texas where he enlisted as a private in the Texas Army.
On August 5, 1836, he was appointed adjutant-general by General
Rusk, commander of the Army of Texas. As a senior
brigadier-general, on January 31, 1838, he took command of the
Texas Army. On December 22, 1838, he was appointed the Secretary
of War for the Republic of Texas. During his term in office he
was instrumental in freeing the Texas borders from Indian raids.
However, his enthusiasm in his crusade against the Cherokees
invoked the displeasure of General Sam Houston; on March 1,
1840, Johnston resigned his office.
On October 3, 1843, while in Kentucky, he married Eliza Griffin,
first cousin to his late wife. They had two children to survive
to adulthood. On his return to Texas Johnston settled in
Brazoria County, where he purchased "China Grove." This property
purchase caused him financial difficulty.
At the start of the Mexican War, he was commissioned colonel of
the 1st Texas Rifle Volunteers. He served under General Butler
at Monterrey, as an inspector general. The following few years,
he farmed at "China Grove." On December 2, 1849, he took a
commission as a paymaster with the United States Army. He served
in this capacity along the Texas frontier until his appointment
as colonel of the 2nd Calvary. On April 2, 1856, Johnston took
command of the Department of Texas. He served in Utah, from
1858-1860, as brevet brigadier-general, where he succeeded in
putting down threats of a Mormon uprising without the use of
force.
In December of 1860, Johnston departed for San Francisco where
he commanded the Department of the Pacific for three months.
After Texas seceded, he resigned his commission (April 10, 1861)
and retired from his duties when General Sumner arrived, April
25, 1861.
Johnston was accused of plotting to win California for the
Confederacy. However, Johnston was not desirous of civil strife.
He retreated to Los Angeles to avoid such rumors. Realizing
their error, the Federal Government asked Johnston to consider a
command with the Union forces-Johnston declined. Leaving his
family in the charge of his brother-in-law, Johnston joined
Alonso Ridley's Company and returned to the South. In Richmond
he joined Jefferson Davis, where he was appointed commanding
general of the Western Department. He secured Bowling Green,
Kentucky and began to form and train an army. Johnston's army
was severely outnumbered and lost at Mill Spring (January 19,
1862), Fort Henry (February 6, 1862), and Fort Donelson
(February 16, 1862). Johnston was forced to retreat to Nashville
and then Corinth, where he engaged the Federals at Shiloh Church
(April 3, 1962). Johnston succeeded in turning the enemy back to
the Tennessee River. On the verge of victory, Johnston was
mortally wounded in an artery and bled to death.
After a temporary interment at New Orleans, Louisiana,
Johnston's body was carried to Austin, Texas for burial (January
1867). An order from General Sheridan refused to honor Johnston
with a military funeral procession.
Scope and Content: This letter is dated December 2, 1849 from
Brazoria County Texas and was written and signed in the hand of
Albert Sidney Johnston. The letter is addressed to "General R.
Jones, Adj. General, U.S. Army" and concerns Johnston's
appointment as a paymaster in the United States Army. The letter
notes that Johnston received news of the Presidential
appointment from G.W. Crawford, Secretary of War. Also mentioned
is Johnston's taking the oath of office.
Originally, according to the letter itself, the oath of office
and the memoranda of the President were also enclosed. This was
in accordance with the instructions of the Department of War.
However, those items are not a part of this collection.
In a brief postscript, Johnston states that he will wait at
Galveston for General Jones' orders.

GENERAL ALBERT SIDNEY JOHNSTON, C.S.A.
February 2, 1803 – April 6, 1862
Albert Sidney Johnston was born in 1803 to John and Abigail
Harris Johnston in Washington, Kentucky. He was educated at
Transylvania University in Lexington and later secured an
appointment to West Point. After graduating in 1826, Johnston
received his commission as 2nd Lieutenant of Infantry from John
Quincy Adams. He served in the Black Hawk War and resigned his
commission in 1834.
Johnston enlisted in the Texas Army in 1836 after hearing
Stephen F. Austin, who was on a recruiting mission for the young
Republic of Texas, spoke in Louisville just one day after the
fall of the Alamo. Later, Johnston became Brigadier General and
Chief Commander of the Texas Army. He served as Secretary of War
in the Republic of Texas from 1836-1840. As a Colonel in the
Texas volunteer regiment, Johnston fought at Monterrey in the
Mexican War.
In 1849, Johnston was reappointed to the U.S. Army and placed in
command of the Department of Texas. In 1857, he led an
expedition to Utah and was made Brevet General. He remained
there until 1860, commanding the Department of Utah.
When Texas seceded, Johnston resigned his commission in the U.S.
Army and was appointed a General in the Army of the Confederacy
by Jefferson Davis. He was in command of all Confederate troops
west of the Alleghenies and successfully surprised Grant at
Shiloh in April 1862. Tragically, he was mortally wounded in
that battle and died on the field. Johnston, who wished to be
buried "with a handful of Texas earth on my breast", is buried
in the Texas State Cemetery in Austin, Texas. His gravesite is
adorned with a beautiful white marble sculpture created by
Elizabeth Ney, which portrays Johnston in repose, as he fell on
the battlefield.

"Albert Sidney Johnston (1803-1862 At the beginning of the Civil
War it was almost universally agreed that the finest soldier,
North or South, was Albert Sidney Johnston. But his Civil War
career was a definite disappointment to the Confederacy. The
Kentucky-born Johnston was appointed to West Point from
Louisiana and graduated eighth in the class of 1826. After eight
years of service he resigned to care for his terminally ill
wife. A failure at farming, he went to Texas and joined the
revolutionary forces as a private. He rose to the forces' chief
command as senior brigadier the next year.
He served as secretary of war in the Republic of Texas and
commanded the lst Texas Rifles in the Mexican War. Reentering
the regular army in 1849 as a major and paymaster, he became
colonel, 2nd (old) Cavalry, in 1855. For his services in the
1857 campaign against the Mormons in Utah he was brevetted
brigadier general. He resigned his commission on April 10, 1861,
but did not quit his post on the West Coast until his successor
arrived.
Relieved, he began the long trek to Richmond overland. Meeting
with Jefferson Davis, he entered Confederate service where his
assignments included: general, CSA (August 30, 1861, to date
from May 30, 1861); commanding Department No. 2 (September 15,
1861 - April 6, 1862); and in immediate command of the Central
Army of Kentucky, Department No. 2 (October 28 - December 5,
1861 and February 23- March 29, 1862).
As the second ranking general in the Southern army he was given
command of the western theater of operations. Establishing a
line of defense in Kentucky from the Mississippi River to the
Appalachians, he held it until it was broken at Mill Springs in
January and at Forts Henry and Donelson in February 1862.
Abandoning Kentucky and most of Tennessee, he fell back into
northern Mississippi where he concentrated his previously
scattered forces.
In early April he moved against Grant's army at Shiloh. In what
was basically a surprise attack, he drove the enemy back. While
directing frontline operations he was wounded in the leg. Not
considering his wound serious, he bled to death. Grant, writing
in his memoirs, considered Johnston as having failed to live up
to earlier expectations. (Roland, Charles P., Albert Sidney
Johnston: Soldier of Tbree Republics)

"Born in Washington, Kentucky in 1803, Albert Sidney Johnston
attended Transylvania University before graduating from the U.
S. Military Academy in 1826.
Johnston resigned his military commission in 1834 because of his
wife's illness, and farmed near St. Louis in 1835 before coming
to Texas to enlist as a private in the Texas army. Because of
his military background, he advanced quickly. By early 1837 he
was named senior brigadier general of the Texas army. This
appointment resulted in a duel with Felix Huston, the man he
replaced. Due to an injury suffered in the duel, however,
Johnston was unable to take his new post.
Almost two years later, Johnston was appointed Secretary of War
under President Lamar. He served in the Mexican War and later
re-entered the service of the U. S. army. At the outbreak of the
Civil War, Johnston again resigned his U. S. military commission
and joined the Confederacy.
In the Confederate army, Johnston was appointed by Confederate
President Jefferson Davis as a general in charge of the Western
Department. On April 6, 1862, Johnston won the Battle of Shiloh,
but was killed in the conflict. He was temporarily buried in New
Orleans, but his remains were later transferred to Texas for
burial in the State Cemetery in Austin."

BIOGRAPHY
Albert Sidney Johnston was born in Washington, Kentucky, on
February 2, 1803. Although he was born in Kentucky, he thought
of himself as a Texan. Johnston graduated from West Point in
1826, and served with distinction in the Black Hawk and Mexican
Wars. He resigned from the US military after Texas seceded, and
was placed in charge of the Confederate Department No. 2 by his
close friend, Confederate President Jefferson Davis. Given the
rank of full general, he was second only to Samuel Cooper in
rank and seniority. After a series of unsuccessful operations in
Kentucky and Tennessee, he began planning a bold maneuver. In
April of 1862, he led his troops in a surprise attack on Union
troops. This began the Battle of Shiloh. During the battle,
Johnston was shot in the right leg by a stray minié bullet. He
bled to death, on April 6, 1862."

"JOHNSTON, ALBERT SIDNEY (1803-1862). Albert Sidney Johnston,
Confederate general, son of John and Abigail (Harris) Johnston,
was born at Washington, Kentucky, on February 2, 1803. He
attended Transylvania University before he entered the United
States Military Academy at West Point, from which he graduated
in June 1826. He served at Sackett's Harbor, New York in 1826,
with the Sixth Infantry at Jefferson Barracks, Missouri, in
1827, and as regimental adjutant in the Black Hawk War. On
January 20, 1829, he married Henrietta Preston. Because of his
wife's illness, he resigned his commission on April 22, 1834,
and farmed near St. Louis in 1835. She died on August 12, 1835.
In 1836 Johnston moved to Texas and enlisted as a private in the
Texas Army. On August 5, 1836, he was appointed adjutant general
by Thomas Jefferson Rusk and on January 31, 1837, he became
senior brigadier general in command of the army to replace Felix
Huston. A duel with Huston resulted; Johnston was wounded and
could not take the command. On December 22, 1838, he was
appointed secretary of war for the Republic of Texas by
President Mirabeau B. Lamar, and in December 1839 he led an
expedition against the Cherokee in East Texas. On March 1, 1840,
Johnston returned to Kentucky, where, on October 3, 1843, he
married Eliza Griffin, a cousin of his first wife. They returned
to Texas to settle at China Grove Plantation in Brazoria County.
During the Mexican War he was colonel of the First Texas Rifle
Volunteers and served with W. O. Butler as inspector general at
Monterrey, Mexico. On December 2,1849, Johnston became paymaster
in the United States Army and was assigned to the Texas
frontier. He went with William S. Harney to the Great Plains in
1855, and on April 2,1856, he was appointed colonel of the
Second Cavalry. From 1858 to 1860 Johnston acted as brevet
brigadier general in an expedition to escort the Mormons to Salt
Lake City. He was sent to the Pacific Department and stationed
at San Francisco in 1860. At the beginning of the Civil War in
1861, he resigned his commission in the United States Army,
refused the federal government's offer of a command, and
returned overland to Texas.
Jefferson Davis appointed Johnston a general in the Confederate
Army and assigned him command of the Western Department.
Johnston took Bowling Green, Kentucky, issued a call for men,
and formed and drilled an army. He knew the weaknesses of his
army: small size, lack of organization, long line of defense,
and location in river territory. In February 1862 he moved his
line of defense to the vicinity of Nashville, Tennessee, and
later to Corinth, Mississippi. On April 6, 1862, he was killed
while leading his forces at the battle of Shiloh. He was
temporarily buried at New Orleans. By special appropriation, the
Texas Legislature, in January 1867, had his remains transferred
to Austin for burial in the State Cemetery. In 1905 a stone
monument executed by noted sculptor Elisabet Ney was erected at
the site. "

Albert Sidney Johnston
Charles P. Roland
To Confederate president Jefferson Davis, America had no finer
soldier than Kentucky-born Texan Albert Sidney Johnston.
Following the outbreak of the Civil War, Davis turned to
Johnston to take control of the deteriorating situation in the
Western Theater. With a widely dispersed and undermanned army,
Johnston tried but failed to hold the line in Kentucky and
Tennessee. After yielding Forts Henry and Donelson, and
Nashville, the Confederates fell back into Alabama and
Mississippi, where Johnston rallied his troops for a surprise
attack against Federal forces in western Tennessee.
Thus far, Johnston's leadership had brought defeat and retreat,
prompting critics to call for his removal, but Davis would have
none of that. Finally, in April 1862, Johnston unleashed his
Rebel army in what came to be known as the Battle of Shiloh -
the first great battle of the war and one of the bloodiest.
Surprise was complete and a stunning Confederate victory seemed
likely. Johnston appeared to be everywhere, directing the
fighting and inspiring his men. But at the height of the battle,
he fell wounded and bled to death in a matter of minutes. The
Confederate attack lost momentum and eventually was halted. The
next day a reinforced Federal army drove the Southerners from
the field. The battle that promised so much ended in a bitter
defeat made worse by the loss of a man upon whom rested so much
hope.
Questions about Johnston's generalship and the impact of his
death have occupied students of the Civil War since 1862. While
no one can know for sure if Johnston would have confirmed
Davis's lofty opinion of him, at Shiloh, at least, he showed
great promise. As Charles P. Roland writes, "Jefferson Davis had
reason to consider Johnston his greatest general."

Shiloh, battle of
April 6-7, 1862, one of the great battles of the American Civil
War. The battle took its name from Shiloh Church, a meetinghouse
c.3 mi (5 km) SSW of Pittsburg Landing, which was a community in
Hardin co., Tenn., 9 mi (14.5 km) S of Savannah on the west bank
of the Tennessee River. After the fall of Fort Donelson to the
Union army, Gen. Ulysses S. Grant advanced up the Tennessee
River and established headquarters for his Army of the Tennessee
(some 40,000 men) at Savannah. Five divisions were placed in the
vicinity of Pittsburg Landing and one at Crump's Landing, c.5 mi
(8 km) north. Meanwhile, General Buell, commanding the Army of
the Ohio (35,000 men), was marching W from Nashville to join
Grant and crush the Confederate army at Corinth, Miss., a
strategic railway point. Gen. A. S. Johnston, about to make a
stand after leading the retreat from original Confederate
positions in the West, commanded the army at Corinth (40,000
men), with Gen. P. G. T. Beauregard second in command.
Johnston's plan was to defeat Grant before Buell could arrive.
He moved to attack on April 3, but because of delay in the 20-mi
(32-km) advance to the Union front, it was not until early on
April 6 that his troops fell upon the enemy near Shiloh Church.
Grant's position was unfortified, in spite of orders to the
contrary from General Halleck, Union commander in the West.
Having offensive plans of his own, Grant expected no attack, and
consequently his irregularly placed divisions were thrown back
in confusion at the Confederate assault. In the day's fighting
the Confederates swept the field, but Johnston was killed. When
Beauregard, who assumed command, ceased battle at nightfall, the
Union forces had been pushed back over a mile from their first
positions but, although hard-pressed, still held Pittsburg
Landing, which the Confederates wanted to secure in order to cut
off retreat. With 20,000 reinforcements from the division at
Crump's Landing and the advance divisions of Buell's army, the
Federals took the offensive on April 7. Beauregard, outnumbered
and without fresh troops, resisted for about eight hours and
then proceeded to withdraw to Corinth; the Union command did not
make any effective pursuit. Corinth was abandoned to the Union
forces one month later. Ultimately, Shiloh may be considered a
Union victory because it led to later successful campaigns in
the West. It was one of the bloodiest contests of the war,
losses on each side reaching over 10,000, and, with the possible
exceptions of Antietam and Gettysburg, it has been the subject
of more controversy than any other Civil War battle.

The summer of 1857 saw an entire new quota of judges in
Utah,President Buchanan then appointing David R. Eccles, chief
justice;Charles E. Sinclair and E. D. Potter, associate
justices. The new judges came to the territory with Col. Albert
Sidney Johnston. Judge Sinclair was assigned to the first
district, which included Salt Lake City. Chief Justice Eccles
established his headquarters at CampFloyd, and Judge Potter was
assigned to the southern district. He soon resigned and was
succeeded by John Cradlebaugh, who arrived in Utah early in
June, 1858.

Further Appointments
Among the soldiers of Col. Albert Sidney Johnston's command were
several who had received the degrees of Masonry. After Camp
Floyd was established they decided to organize a lodge and
applied to the Grand Lodge of Missouri for a dispensation. The
lodge was organized at Camp Floyd on March 6, 1859, and on June
1, 1860, it was granted a charter as "Rocky Mountain Lodge, No.
205," by the Missouri Grand Lodge. This first Masonic Lodge in
Utah was short-lived, as most of the members belonged to the
army, and when Johnston was ordered to New Mexico in 1861 the
lodge surrendered its charter.

Masonry In Utah
In August, 1858, Mr. Walker returned to Utah. General Albert
Sidney Johnston had established a camp of United States troops
at Camp Floyd, about fifty miles from Salt Lake, and Mr. Walker,
repairing to that point, served as a clerk with the army long
enough to find out what the situation was and then with his
three brothers, opened a store at Camp Floyd with a general
supply of dry goods, groceries, cigars and tobacco, and such
other articles as could be sold to the soldiers, all bought in
Salt Lake on credit, at sixty per cent, advance on first cost
and thirty cents more per pound added for freight. The first
year the brothers made a profit of twenty thousands dollars.
Meanwhile, in Salt Lake, in 1859, the Walker brothers had opened
a large general store and bank, and this business was the
beginning of the largest mercantile and financial institutions
in the intermountain country, the Walker Brothers Dry Goods
Company, and the Walker Brothers Bankers.
