EIGHTY-NINTH INFANTRY
(Three Years)

Eighty-ninth Infantry. - Cols., John G. Marshall, Joseph
D. Hatfield, Caleb H. Carlton; Lieut.-Cols., James Rowe, Wil-
liam H. Glenn; Majs., William Hays, John H. Jolly. This regi-
ment was organized at Camp Dennison, Aug. 22 and 26, 1862, to
serve for three years, and numbered 1,000 officers and men.
Crossing the Ohio river on a pontoon bridge, the regiment went
into camp 3 miles in the rear of Covington, Ky. After spending
a short time in Kentucky it moved into western Virginia and in
the early part of 1863 was ordered to Tennessee to join Gen.
Rose crane. After remaining at Murfreesboro until June, the
regiment joined in the movement against Bragg at Tullahoma. It
met with sturdy opposition from the enemy the first day out and
at Hoover's gap it supported Wilder's brigade of mounted infan-
try in a sharp encounter, in which the enemy lost over 100 in
killed and wounded. The regiment suffered terribly in this
campaign from the incessant rains, which flooded the whole
country and made it almost impossible to supply the army with
rations. The regiment engaged in the bloody battle of Chicka-
mauga, where on the second day it was in the hottest of the
fight, holding 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. The noncommis-
sioned officers and privates were sent to Belle Isle and from
there to Andersonville, where a majority of them died of star-
vation and exposure. Forty wounded, 20 sick and 75 well men
who were not engaged in the battle, were all that were left of
the 89th. Receiving recruits, the regiment soon mustered 200
men and established a respectable standing, and when the charge
was made on Missionary ridge this little band went to victory
in the front of the attacking column. It made a partial charge
on the enemy's work at Rocky Face ridge, in which it had 2 men
killed, 10 wounded and 2 captured. It was next engaged in the
fight at Resaca, but without loss, and it bore its part in the
almost constant fighting for four months, up to and into At-
lanta. After participating in the expedition against Hood, in
his mad attempt to capture Nashville, the regiment was at its
post in Sherman's grand march to the sea and was present at the
capture of Savannah. In the Carolina campaign it was at the
crossing of the Cahawba river, when the pontoons gave way twice
from the force of the swollen and raging stream; engaged in the
fights at Averasboro and Bentonville, N. C. , and was at the
surrender of Johnston. After two years and nine months' serv-
ice the remnant of the 89th was mustered out at Washington,
D. C., June 7, 1865.
