- BANNING,
HENRY BLACKSTONE, attorney-ar-law, Cincinnati, was, on his father's
side, of Maryland stock. His mother's family were of Virginia.

At the battle of Chickamauga, in a bayonet charge, the regiment, under
the lead of Colonel Banning, captured the battle-flag of the
Twentysecond Alabama Regiment, the only colors taken by our troops upon
that bloody and disastrous field. At the battle of Kenesaw Mountain, an
eye-witness, in describing the fight, said: “Yesterday was a bloody day
for the One Hundred and Twenty-first Ohio-more bloody in numbers than
Chickamauga. More than one-third of her gallant sons were killed or
wounded. History`s page will recall the deeds of her fallen heroes, and
the command of the gallant Banning, Lie down, One Hundred and
Twenty-first, and do not retire one inch until I order you,` when the
storm of battle was at its highest, will make for him an imperishable
record; and the stubborness with which the regiment obeyed the order,
unsupported and exposed to a galling fire from both flanks and front,
of artillery and small-arms, for more than four hours, will be
rehearsed in story and in song in after years."
- ... In
September, 1868, General Banning married Miss Julia, daughter of
Timothy Kirby, of Cincinnati, and immediately removed to that place,
and resumed the practice of law, with his usual success.
