Granville Jackson came in the mail: http://www.89thohio.com/mcclave_diary,_pt_1.htm S. May 24th Mail came late in the evening bringing several commissions. Three for Co. G. 1st Lieut. O.C. Gatch, Capt (vice) W. Wright resigned, 2d Lieut G. Jackson, 1st Lieut (Vice) Gatch promoted, 1st Sargt Eddy Scott, vice Lieut Jackson. A few days before his heroic death, Lt. Granville Jackson received a compliment for his efforts in repulsing an attack. This excerpt comes from the Library of Congress documents filed by Col. Carlton in the 1890's: http://www.89thohio.com/PostWar/carlton.htm This Brigade marched on morning 13th Sept, crossed the river, moved by forced marches to and through Chattanooga, and arrived at Rossville on 14th. On 17th made reconnaissance to Ringgold, returning in the evening and while going into camp after dark, was suddenly attacked. Two companies of the 89th Ohio, one commanded by Lt Jackson (who was killed at Chickamauga) the other commanded by Lt Scott (who lost an arm at Peach Tree Creek) had just reported to the Division Staff officer at the front for picket duty, held their ground and repulsed the attack, for which they were complimented by Generals Granger and Steedman. The following account of the death of Granville Jackson comes from: http://www.89thohio.com/history.htm On the morning of the 19th the 89th moved out in Granger’s corps to the skirmish-line, and engaged in the great and bloody battle of Chickamauga. During the afternoon, ten of the regiment were wounded while advancing the skirmish-line. At nine o’clock on Sunday morning, September 20th, the battle commenced, and raged for seven hours. During the afternoon the 89th went into the hottest of the fight, and with the 21st Ohio and 22nd Michigan, held its position until darkness began to settle like a pall upon the ground, when a division of the enemy came up in its rear, surrounded and captured it entire. Lieutenant Walker, of company D, was shot through the heart and left on the field, and Granville Jackson, of company G, fell and died amid the strife, a Minie ball passing in at his mouth and out at the back of his neck. Sergeants Benjamin L. Pratt, J. W. Phillips, John Kehner, Corporal Wesley Bragdon, and privates John Mahany and J. Blackstone, were known to be killed. Lieutenants Mallow, of company E, and Barton, of company B, and 52 privates were wounded and sent to the rear, and a number of others were left mortally wounded on the field, to perish in the hands of the enemy. Colonel Carlton, Lieutenant-Colonel Glenn, Assistant Surgeon Purdam, Captains S. A. Glenn, Day, Gatch, Barrett, Adams, and Lieutenants Fairfield, Harris[on], Prentiss, Beard, and Scott were captured and sent to Libby Prison. Colonel Carlton managed to be exchanged in a few months; Captain Adams and Lieutenant Scott made their escape through Colonel Straight’s underground passage, and got safely within our lines; Lieutenant-Colonel Glenn was sent to Charleston, South Carolina, and placed under fire of our guns, and was exchanged ten months after his capture. The non-commissioned officers and privates were sent to Belle Isle, and from there to [Danville and] Andersonville, where a majority of them died of starvation and exposure. Falling back on Chattanooga, our army went into the intrenchments. Monday morning at nine o’clock, Surgeon Crew of the 89th, sick with jaundice, and just able to ride on horseback, found himself half a mile in front of our line of battle, with forty wounded, twenty sick, and seventy-five well men, all that was left of the 89th. No other commissioned officer being present, the command devolved on the Surgeon. With two ambulances and a few stretchers, at ten A. M., he started for Chattanooga, five miles distant, passed through our line of battle, and arrived there at two, P. M., leaving the wounded in hospital, and reporting the men to the officer in command. For a few days this remnant of the 89th was attached to the 92d Ohio, but becoming dissatisfied, Captain Harris, of the 36th Ohio, took command, and the 89th resumed its own name and organization.
