Historical Sketch and Roster Of The Tennessee 33rd Infantry Regiment

by John C. Rigdon

Colonel Campbell, in his account in Lindsley's Annals, stated that the archives of the first and second years operations of the regiment were lost in 1863. He stated that the regiment remained in Camp of Instruction near Union City until January, 1862, when it moved to Columbus, Kentucky; that only a few of the companies were partially armed, mostly with shotguns and hunting rifles, and that the regiment was not completely armed until a few weeks before the Battle of Shiloh, when they obtained some flint and steel muskets as a loan. At the Battle of Shiloh, April 6-7, 1862, the regiment was in Brigadier General Charles Clark's Division, Brigadier General Alexander P. Stewart's Brigade, composed of the 13th Arkansas, 4th, 5th, and 33rd Tennessee Infantry Regiments and Stanford's Battery. These three Tennessee regiments remained together throughout the war. The 33rd fought throughout the war with the Army of Tennessee, participating in the Atlanta Campaign, the Nashville Campaign, and the Carolina's Campaign. It was surrendered and paroled at Greensboro, North Carolina May 1, 1865. Companies Of The Tennessee 33rd Infantry Regiment Ellison S. Howard, W. C. Fleming, Henry W. Hickman, Co. "A".
