Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Three Years Service of the Thirty-Third Mass; Infantry Regiment: 1862-1865, and the Campaigns and Battles of Chancellorsville, Beverley's Ford, Gettysburg, Wauhatchie, Chattanooga, Atlanta, the March to the Sea and Through the Carolinas, in Which It Took Part At the Annual Reunion of the survivors of the Thirty-Third Massachusetts Regiment held at Lowell in 1868, the author read a brief historical sketch, hastily prepared by him, of the early days of the regiment. At the Reunion held there in 1872, he read another sketch in continuation of the first. These were followed in succeeding years, at the request of many of his comrades, by several sketches briefly continuing the history of the regiment up to the time of its muster out. It was with a good deal of reluctance though, that he undertook to write that portion which related to events that occurred after he ceased to be with the regiment. The Regimental Association, by vote, requested the author to have this series of sketches published in complete form. Protracted illness compelled the postponement, by medical advice, of an attempt to fulfil this request for a long while, until about a year ago. While the first chapter was then going through the press, in final compliance with the request, General Hooker died. Some notices of events in his life, among others of the Battle of Chancellorsville, revived former criticisms of the conduct of the Eleventh Corps in that battle. The Thirty-Third Massachusetts, as a part of the Eleventh Corps in that battle, has alway shad to bear, in common with the rest of the Corps, these criticisims, always very severe, which it and the rest of the Corps always felt to be mostly, if not wholly, unjust.
