The Thirty-third Ohio Volunteer Infantry fought disease, capture, and heavy casualties in many notable Civil War battles before heroically volunteering to reenlist. Although most men were recruited from south-central Ohio, by the end of the war nearly every state in Ohio was represented when asked to fill quotas and answer President Lincoln's call. These men fought in the battles of Chaplin Hills, Stones River, Hoovers Gap, Chickamauga, Lookout Mountain, Mission Ridge, Atlanta, Savannah, Averasboro, Bentonville, and Raleigh. They followed Sherman in his March to the Sea. The stories of these men are told through their letters to wives, sisters, and other family members in an engaging style that will personalize the experiences of the war.
