Age ?
I hate to say it, but Johnston's age was an issue. He was certainly the most experienced Army Commander - North or South - of the early part of that war....but what impact did his age have? This may be an overall issue to the result of the war... Engr105th 07:06, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
Born in 1807, he was the same age as Robert E.Lee, and four years younger than the other Johnston (Sidney) whose death in action was rated as the biggest blow to the Confederacy. 81.129.150.171 (talk) 08:29, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
Family
His brother Charles Clement Johnston also served as a U.S. Representative, and his nephew John Warfield Johnston was a United States Senator; both represented Virginia. This line is both in early life and postbellum life. —--Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.10.186.150 (talk) 18:31, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Official Pardon
Under what terms was he pardoned by the postwar Government? President Andrew Johnson rated US Army Generals who resigned to join the Confederates as the ones least deserving of a pardon. 86.169.146.169 (talk) 12:37, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
- I see no reference to him being pardoned in the article. could you point it out?--Jojhutton (talk) 13:17, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
Photo of RE Lee and "ASJohnston"
This picture is mislabeled. "ASJohnston" refers to Albert Sidney Johnston, CSA general who died on the field of Shiloh in 1862. Since this picture is dated 1869, and the man with Lee looks much like Joe E. Johnston (though the beard he has is fuller than what he is more typically known as having), the figure in question must in fact be Joe Johnston and not Albert Sidney Johnston. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.175.91.86 (talk) 19:18, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
