Johnston is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative is based on the author's personal experiences as a young soldier in the 7th Virginia Infantry during the American Civil War. It focuses on the dynamics of a Confederate soldier's life, detailing the socio-political climate of the time, particularly the Southern perspective on secession and the war, as well as the relationships and camaraderie among the soldiers. The opening portion of the book introduces us to the author as a boy of just fifteen, navigating the political tumult surrounding Lincoln's election and Virginia's subsequent discussions on secession. It captures his youthful aspirations to become a soldier and details his education amidst the fervent debates around the impending war. There are vivid descriptions of his early impressions and tumultuous feelings regarding the war, as well as interactions with locals as opinions about the conflict begin to polarize. This groundwork sets the stage for the detailed recounting of Johnston's military life and the realities of the Civil War that he and his fellow soldiers would soon face.
