Regimental History
THIRTY-THIRD REGIMENT
MASSACHUSETTS VOLUNTEER INFANTRY
THREE YEARS

The 33d Regt. Mass. Vol. Inf. was organized at Camp Edwin
M. Stanton, Lynnfield, in June and July, 1862. It was at first
a twelve company regiment, and early in August was mustered
into the service as such with Alberto C. Maggi as its colonel.
On August 14 the regiment left Camp Stanton for the seat of war
numbering 1200 men. Companies L and M remained with the
regiment until November when they were transferred to the 41st
Regt. as Co's. I and K.

By boat and rail the 33d proceeded to Washington, arriving
Aug. 17. Next day the regiment established its camp at
Hunter's Chapel on the Virginia side of the Potomac. During
the latter part of the month it did patrol duty at Alexandria,
and on October 10 was sent to Fairfax C. H. where it was
attached to Smith's (2d) Brigade, Von Steinwehr's (2d)
Division, Sigel's Corps which later became the 11th. After
movements to Thoroughfare Gap and White Plains in November, the
regiment went into winter quarters near Falmouth just after the
battle of Fredericksburg.

About April 1, 1863, Col. Underwood succeeded Col. Maggi
in command of the regiment. In May, as a part of Barlow's
Brigade, Von Steinwehr's Division, Howard's (1lth) Corps it was
present at Chancellorsville with only small loss. At
Gettysburg,, July 1 to 4, 1863, the 33d was posted on East
Cemetery Hill and later between that and Culp's Hill. From
this latter position it helped to repel the attack of the
brigades of Hays and Hoke just at dusk on the 2d of July. In
this action the regiment lost 8 killed and 38 wounded. After
this battle the 33d was encamped for nearly two months in the
vicinity of Catlett's and Bristoe Stations on the Orange and
Alexandria Railroad. Here it received orders to proceed to
the west, and on the last day of September it detrained at
Bridgeport, Tenn. Both the 11th and 12th Corps had been
ordered to Tennessee to cooperate with the Army of the
Cumberland.

At Wauhatchie, Oct. 29, 1863, in a very severe engagement
the 33d lost 35 killed, 58 wounded, and one missing. After the
battles of Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge the regiment
went into winter quarters in Lookout Valley.

In April, 1864, the 11th and 12th Corps were consolidated
to form the 20th Corps commanded by Gen. Joseph Hooker and
later by Genl. J. A. Mower. As a part of the 3d Brigade, 3d
Division, 20th Corps, Army of Georgia, the 33d started on its
famous Atlanta campaign early in May, 1864.

At Resaca, May 15, it was heavily engaged, losing 82 men,
of whom 23 were killed or mortally wounded. At Dallas, May 25,
it was in action, losing 13 killed and 35 wounded, and again at
Kenesaw Mountain, June 22, losing 8 killed and 18 wounded. he
regiment participated in the siege of Atlanta, the occupation
of the city, the March to the Sea, the operations around
Savannah, and in the northward march through Georgia and the
Carolinas. Averysboro, N. C., fought March 16, 1865, and
Bentonville, fought March 19, were the last battles of the
regiment. When Johnston's army surrendered, April 26, the
33d Regiment was doing guard duty at Raleigh, N. C.

It then marched back through Petersburg, Richmond, and
Spottsylvania C. H. to its old Chancellorsville field, thence
onward to Fairfax C. H. and the outskirts of Washington
City. Here on the 24th of May it participated in the Grand
Review of Sherman's army.

On June 10 the regiment was mustered out of the United
States service. Returning to Readville, Mass., the members of
the regiment were furloughed until July 2, when they were
assembled for the last time and paid off and discharged.
