p. g. t. beauregard
in the first battle of bull run (first manassas), july 21, 1861, johnston rapidly moved his small army from the shenandoah valley to reinforce that of brig. gen. p. g. t. beauregard, but he lacked familiarity with the terrain and ceded tactical planning of the battle to the more junior beauregard as a professional courtesy. at midday, while beauregard was still unclear about the direction his union opponent was taking in the battle, johnston decided that the critical point was to the north of his headquarters (the lewis house, "portici"), at henry house hill. he abruptly announced "the battle is there. i am going." beauregard and the staffs of both generals followed his lead and rode off. johnston encountered a scattered unit, the 4th alabama, all of whose field grade officers had been killed, and personally rallied the men to reinforce the confederate line. he consoled the despairing brig. gen. barnard bee and urged him to lead his men back into the fight. (general bee's exhortation to his men was the inspiration for stonewall jackson's nickname.) beauregard then convinced johnston that he would be more valuable organizing the arrival of reinforcements for the remainder of the battle than providing at-the-front tactical leadership. although beauregard managed to claim the majority of public credit, johnston's behind-the-scenes role was a critical factor in the southern victory. after bull run, johnston assisted beauregard and william porcher miles in the design and production of the confederate battle flag. it was johnston's idea to make the flag square.
