The
33rd Alabama Infantry Regiment
was an
infantry
unit from
Alabama
that served in the
Confederate States Army
during the
U.S. Civil War
. Recruited from the southeastern counties of
Butler
,
Dale
,
Coffee
,
Covington
,
Russell
and
Montgomery
, it saw extensive service with the Confederate
Army of Tennessee
before being nearly annihilated at the
Battle of Franklin
in 1864. Survivors from the regiment would continue to serve until the final capitulation of General
Joseph Johnston
in
North Carolina
in 1865.
In addition to the counties named above, the 33rd Alabama drew recruits from three modern Alabama counties that did not yet exist in 1862:
Geneva County
, which was then a part of Dale and Coffee counties;
Crenshaw County
, which would be formed from Covington and other nearby counties after the war; and
Houston County
, which then formed a part of Dale and Henry Counties.
Initially assigned to the defense of Confederate forts in
Pensacola Bay
,
Florida
, the 33rd was quickly transferred to duty in the
Army of Tennessee
, where it saw its first significant action at the
Battle of Perryville
. It went on to fight at
Stone's River
,
Chickamauga
, the
Siege of Chattanooga
, the
Atlanta Campaign
(including
Ringgold Gap
and
Kennesaw Mountain
), and the disastrous
Franklin-Nashville Campaign
in late 1864.
From just after the Battle of Perryville through the
Battle of Franklin
, the 33rd fought under the "Stonewall of the West": Major General
Patrick Cleburne
, an
Irish
-born officer whom General
Robert E. Lee
once referred to as "a meteor shining from a clouded sky" for his battlefield prowess. Though it took horrific losses at Perryville (where it suffered eighty-two percent casualties) and at Franklin (where it lost two-thirds of its numbers), it held together with reduced numbers until the final
Carolina Campaign
in 1865.

BIDDERS BEWARE OF "BID SNIPERS"
:
"Bid Snipers" use software to bid in the final few seconds of the auction to take over the auction and win the item at the lowest possible price. You will not be able to beat a bid sniper program at the last minute.
The best way to improve your chances on something you really want is to determine the maximum amount you are willing to pay and enter that amount. That method also helps avoid missing a bid or forgetting to bid on the item. eBay will enter your bid automatically at the LOWEST possible price for you. That means if your max bid is , but your current bid is only at and nobody else bids then you still get it for even though you entered . If you end up losing the auction it will NOT be because you have been had by a Bid Sniper - it will be because it went beyond the maximum you were willing to pay
