I'm not sure if you've ever been to Missouri to visit his grave, but it appears he is about 90 minutes away from me and if you don't mind i'd like to visit and pay my respects by placing an American Flag at his grave. Also i plan to go to Chickamauga in the spring with a friend who happens to have a history channel on multiple social outlets and he may highlight the 89th Ohio's battle at Snodgrass Hill/ Horseshoe Ridge. My email is dwise0707@gmail.com and that would be the best way to reach me. I'd love to hear back on your thoughts about my visit to Joseph Carter's grave.DustinWisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00466480112544466779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835480668477382304.post-66871366643983242312023-08-13T13:36:50.728-04:002023-08-13T13:36:50.728-04:00One more place to check is Larry Stevens' outs...One more place to check is Larry Stevens' outstanding Ohio in the Civil War website; here's the link for the 89th Ohio: http://www.ohiocivilwar.com/cw89.html<br />Dan Mastershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784394938791483527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835480668477382304.post-13828412922852673282023-08-13T13:31:22.678-04:002023-08-13T13:31:22.678-04:00Dustin- that's outstanding!

A couple of recommendations: please check out Bryan P. Weaver's Sacrifice at Chickamauga published back in 2003- you should be able to find a copy on the secondary book market. The other book worth checking out is a collection of letters from Jacob Shively of Co. D entitled 'Dear Companion...Yours Until Death." If you contact the Ross County Historical Society in Chillicothe, they may still have copies as they were the entity that published the book.

I have official roster documents of company H and indeed saw your great great grandfathers name on that roster. I was wondering if you have any additional information on company H and/or the 89th Ohio and where I might be able to get that information .

Upon his surrender at Fort Donelson, one of my ancestors was in the 1st KY CAV but had recently served in the 8th KY INF and Camp Morton records list him as being in the 8th, so I assume he'd have been on McElroy's transport.

In 1867, local citizens moved the roughly 2,000 graves to Confederate Cemetery, but that, too, eventually fell into disrepair. The city of Murfreesboro bought a large plot of land in Evergreen Cemetery and moved all of the Confederate dead to what is now called Confederate Circle. The identification of very few of the graves survived the multiple moves.
