[Polloco]

He escaped Fort Donelson but was captured by walking through the Union lines. He was with Bushrod Johnson. If I'm reading the biography correctly Johnson slipped away but Anderson was captured?

 

[Polloco]

Before his wounding at Shiloh he was an aide to a general. One biography just states it was a General Johnson, while this one states it was Gen. A. S. Johnston.Two differant people, which was it Johnson or Johnston?
