Henry Jackson, Major by brevet, was English born and enlisted as a Private in the 14th Illinois cavalry in the Civil War.
He became an officer and in July, 1866, was appointed a Second Lieutenant in the Seventh cavalry. As he was with Custer in the summer of 1867 he was a witness at his court-martial. Early in 1868 Jackson was detached from the Seventh cavalry for an assignment with the signal corps and did not rejoin the regiment until after the Battle of the Little Big Horn in 1876.
