I Was An Aide to Gen Johnston In April 1865
In the final days of the Civil War I, an aide at Johnston's headquarters, processed a death sentence for a deserter. I reported the case, sought a commutation, and before the sentence could be carried out, Johnston’s shift toward surrender led me to arrange a delay. A rider bore a command from Johnston to halt the execution, and the life of the young private was saved.
