This map
(taken from Timothy B. Smith's biography, The Iron Dice of Battle: Albert Sidney
Johnston and the Civil War in the West,
LSU Press, 2023, p. 148) shows Johnston's movements from the opening of
the Battle of Shiloh until his wounding and death. For the most
part, Johnston did not function as an army commander---directing his
corps and division commanders---but as an ad hoc brigade
commander. His mortal wound was received while leading a charge
of Statham's brigade against the eastern end of the Sunken
Road/Hornet's Nest position.
