Joe Johnston was in command, though I don't think he was ever hailed as a hero - sophisticated, but not 'Confederate' enough in style and spirit.

Johnston had ceded some authority to P.G.T.Beauregard, who had an intimate knowledge of the terrain. He had a bit more of the Confederate style, though he did not end up having a 'good war'.

The one who did become a hero at this battle was T.J. Jackson, who acquired his nickname 'Stonewall' here - whether meant as a compliment or an insult we shall never know, as the person who gave it to him was mortally wounded almost immediately afterwards.
