Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 33rd Mississippi Infantry Regiment was formed in the spring of 1862 just after the Battle of Shiloh. That battle had shown both sides that the struggle would not be a short one and many more men would be needed to decide the victor in the epic confrontation known as the American Civil War. When the call went out for more men one place in Mississippi that responded was the Laurel Hill community in the southwest corner of Neshoba County. Men from Leake County and Scott County also responded to that call to Laurel Hill and a company was formed at the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. They called their company the Cumberland Guards. The Cumberland Guards then moved to Grenada to the assembly camp and the company became Company A of the newly designated 33rd Regiment, Mississippi Volunteers. The 33rd served in the Western Theater mostly in the Army of Tennessee. It did not play any central or "heroic" role in any one battle like the 11th Mississippi did in Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg or like the "Bloody Sixth" Mississippi did at Shiloh. It did not produce any men who went on to General rank during the war or on to illustrious political careers after the war. Some of the survivors did go on to successful careers in the professions of law, medicine, and education after the war but most returned to the South and took up their work as farmers and businessmen. Many moved on to other states out West since the war had devastated Mississippi. They were just a small part of the larger enterprise known as the Confederate States of America Army.

Download or read book Honor Without a Stain written by David B. Boone Jr.. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2002-03-25 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The 34th was a large regiment, probably the largest in (its) brigade. It was not so large as some of the others at the first but the great numbers of additions to its ranks, and their zeal in keeping up a large average, always gave them a massive appearance. In their rank and file were some of the foremost men in North Mississippi and many sons of such men. This gave them pride of character, an essential limit of true bravery. In the grand shock of battle... this regiment gave good measure." Reverend E. A. Smith, 1904 Honor Without a Stain: The 34th Mississippi Infantry Regiment, 1862-1865 walks in the footstep of the average North Mississippian from his first engagement at Farmington, Mississippi across the battlefields of Perryville, Chickamauga, Chattanooga, and Atlanta, and into the grand coronation of death at Franklin and Nashville, Tennessee. Included are never before published wartime diary and letter excerpts. Invaluable to genealogists will be the complete roster of the regiment including last known residences for survivors, circa 1907. "Honor Without a Stain is required reading for every serious student of the War Between the States. The author ́s best work yet, Honor Without a Stain is not only a great read, it ́s brimming with facts and personal anecdotes available in no other generally accessible publication anywhere. The true story of the Civil War is here. Read it and you will understand." Lt. Cmdr. R. J. Skinner, U.S. Navy (Ret.)

You have done an excellent job on the material. I, and all three of my brothers, recommend your book highly. Thanks for doing this book for so many people." B. Rutherford Mesquite, TX

Using first person accounts from letters, diaries, memoirs and other primary materials, the book sets the 15th Mississippi in a personal context. The narrative is chronologically arranged by the events of the western theater of the Civil War. Emphasizing the real war and not a romanticized version, the story of this unique regiment follows a group of men who entered the war with visions of glory and honor but within one year came to recognize the true nature of the conflict.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a daily record of every soldier of the 27th Mississippi Infantry Regiment from its organization in Pensacola in 1862 until its surrender in North Carolina in 1865. The regiment was formed by men from the following Mississippi counties: Oktibbeha, Choctaw, Winston, Jones, Pontotoc, Tallahatchie, Leake, Covington, Perry, Jasper, Scott, Monroe, and Jackson. Extensive research of official records of each soldier, casualty reports, pension applications, cemeteries, hospital registers, and letters can hopefully give a more comprehensive account of what happened to every soldier during the war. The regiment was in the center of the fighting in the Battles of Perryville, Stones River, Chickamauga, Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge, Resaca, Atlanta, Ezra Church, Jonesboro, Franklin and Nashville. They served in the brigades of two excellent leaders, General Edward Walthall and General William Brantley. One hundred and fifty-three were captured and imprisoned during the war. Special attention is given to hardships of prisoners of war, escapes, those who volunteered to fight Indians with the Union army, and the few that fought with the Union navy. A total of about 500 perished in the war, somewhere around one hundred and thirty-five were killed in action with the rest dying from disease and accidents. Approximately 400 were wounded. Twenty-three amputations were counted but lack of casualty records suggest there were higher numbers. Many lost several sons in the war with one couple losing five. Several men died leaving behind a wife and as many as six children. Most of the survivors returned to Mississippi but many migrated to other states. The greatest number moved to Texas with others finding their way to Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, and Alabama. Others relocated as far as Colorado, Montana, and California.Most returning soldiers were farmers, but others became doctors, merchants, educators, preachers, and state legislators. One became a Lieutenant Governor and another the Danish Consulate to the city of San Francisco. Listed are many ancestors of the 27th Mississippi who served proudly in the United States military in the Spanish American War, World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam.
