Civil War General Albert Sidney Johnston, Portrait & Autograph Card

Description

Albert Sidney Johnston
(February 2, 1803 – April 6, 1862) served as a general in three different armies: the Texan (i.e. Republic of Texas) Army,
the United States Army
, and the Confederate States Army. He saw extensive combat during his military career, fighting actions in the Black Hawk War
, Texas War of
Independence, the Mexican-
AmericanWar
, the
Utah War, and the American Civil War.
Considered by Confederate States President Jefferson Davis to be the finest general officer in the Confederacy before the later emergence of Robert E. Lee, he was killed early in the Civil War at the Battle of Shiloh on April 6, 1862. Johnston was the highest-ranking officer, Union or Confederate, killed during the entire war. Davis believed the loss of General Johnston "was the turning point of our fate."
Johnston was unrelated to Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston.
