by Samuel C. Mills, during the winter of 1858-59.  He is wearing the uniform of a brevet brigadier general. 

General Johnston stood over 6' tall and weighed 200 pounds.  He had thick brows over intense eyes that commanded with a glance.  He was 55 when he took command of the Utah Expedition.  He was a popular leader with his soldiers.  

General Johnston was briefly furloughed in 1860 in Kentucky before the War Department sent him to California to command the Department of the Pacific from San Francisco.  He resigned his commission when he heard Texas had joined the secession.  He soon became the Confederacy’s leading General in the field.  On April 6, 1862, the 59 year old General bled to death from an untended leg wound received while astride the horse he had ridden throughout the Utah War.  He died at the Battle of Shiloh, the highest-ranking officer, Confederate or Union, killed during the Civil War.  He was buried in Austin, Texas.
