Re: General Sidney Johnston's Burial
Yes, I would assume so, not WPJ! William Preston Johnston WPJ) was never in the line of battle. He was a gentle soul and feeble in health. He was more brain than brawn, in fact an intellectual. He taught under R.E. Lee in Lexington after the war, and was the first president of Tulane University. A published author and poet. A lawyer before the war, as ADC to Jeff Davis, he was a "pencil pusher" and liaison officer. A confident to the Davis family, he actually lived with them in the Confederate White House 1862 to 1865. A Renaissance man! Interestingly, his father, the General, prior to Shiloh never served on the battle line, but did command soldiers and armies from Sackett's Harbour NY, Texas, Utah to Shiloh. BF
