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.)

Download or read book History of the 33rd Mississippi Infantry Regiment written by Sidney Bondurant and published by . This book was released on 2018-01-23 with total page 168 pages. 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 Remembering Mississippi s Confederates written by Jeff T. Giambrone and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remembering Mississippi's Confederates is a collection of never-before-seen images which document the history of these soldiers. The Confederate States of America engaged in a battle for national survival that lasted four long and incredibly bloody years. The conflict went on for so long because thousands of rebels were willing to lay down their lives and defend their homes to the last man and last cartridge. Many of these soldiers were Mississippians--approximately 78,000 citizens of the Magnolia State can be documented as having served in the Civil War. Of this number, over 27,500 died either of disease or in combat. Remembering Mississippi's Confederates is a photographic tribute to the men who fought so gallantly for their state. Many of the images in this volume have never been published and come from the proud descendants of the soldiers themselves; others were acquired from collections spread across the United States.

Download or read book The Second Mississippi Infantry Regiment An Introduction to the Full Annotated Roster written by Michael R. Brasher and published by History of the Second Mississi. This book was released on 2020-08-14 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did you know that the Second Mississippi Infantry Regiment had more individuals cited for bravery in battle (the Confederate Roll of Honor) than any other regiment in Confederate service? Its first commander was William C. Falkner, great-grandfather of the famous author William C. Faulkner (the author changed the spelling of the family last name). Its second and last commander was John Marshall Stone, later governor of Mississippi. The Second Mississippi Infantry Regiment was one of hardest hitting infantry regiments in Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. Although there existed, of course, famous brigades, divisions, and even corps, the individual Confederate fighting man always identified most closely with his regiment. This is an introduction to the story of one such regiment, the 2nd Mississippi Infantry Volunteers, that served in the Army of Northern Virginia. It fought in most of the Virginia army's major battles, being detached and absent only at Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville. The 2nd Mississippi met its final demise a week before Lee's surrender at Appomattox when it was overwhelmed by the Federal breakthrough of the Petersburg defenses on April 2, 1865 along the banks of a stream called Hatcher's Run. The cover photo is a photo of the actual regimental battle flag (colors) they were carrying when captured. This first volume in an intended series on the history of the Second Mississippi Infantry Regiment includes a introduction to the regiment's organization and makeup, an annotated roster of all identifiable 1,888 members who served, and a special section on those members who were named to the Confederate Roll of Honor for bravery in battle.
