Civil War Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient. He served as a Coal Heaver in the Union Navy. His citation reads "On board the flagship, USS Hartford, during successful engagements against Fort Morgan, rebel gunboats, and the ram Tennesee in Mobile Bay, 5 August 1864. When a shell struck his foot and severed one of his toes, Garrison remained at his station at the shell whip and, after crudely bandaging the wound, continued to perform his duties until severely wounded by another shell burst."
