Albert Sydney Johnston (1803-1862) was aConfederate general during the War of Secession. He was killed in action at the Battle of Shiloh on April 6, 1862. He would later go down in Confederate history as a martyr, and statues of Johnston would become common throughout the country, including on the National Mall in Richmond.

Before the War of Secession, he commanded a military expedition into Utah in 1857 to put down a Mormon insurrection.
