History
Col. Harrison Fairchild led the recruitment of the 89th, also known as the "Dickinson Guard" after the Elmira local that had gotten permission for the regiment to be raised. After stints in the defense of Washington D.C. and numerous expeditions with Burnside into the North Carolina islands, the 89th first felt the whiz of bullets at the Battle of South Mills, but it wasn't until the Maryland Campaign that they really felt the heat of battle. After losing several men at South Mountain, it was at Antietam that the 89th were one of several tasked with crossing Snavely's Ford south of the Lower Bridge, turning Toombs' right flank and helping force him away from the bridge. The 89th continued to serve with honor and distinction with the AotP throughout the remainder of the war.
