I can concede, but I always thought that Johnston’s death was the damper on the Confederate drive towards the river, etc.

It certainly did, it took the subordinate generals what, an hour? Two hours? to sort things out -- and so did the Hornet's Nest, until Col. Ruggle lined up all the artillery in one big battery.

Trouble was, those two developments took most of the afternoon. Johnston got shot about two o'clock, and the Confederates didn't reach the Union last-ditch defenses until nearly seven.

In my ggg grandfather's widow's pension record (10th Arkansas Infantry) it is stated he was shot while being about 150 feet from General Johnston.

Are there any good books or references that I can track regimental movement to tie this to a locaton?
