Johnson earned his nickname during the capture of Newburgh, IN, the first Northern city to be captured. He and his numerically inferior brigade (about 35 men) were able to fool a superior militia into surrendering the town using stovepipes and other odds and ends disguised as artillery. After the war (he had been blinded during the battle of Grubb's Crossroads) he founded the Texas town of Marble Falls (known as ?The Blind Man's Town").
