This regiment was organized at Indianapolis and was mustered

Dick Robinson reported to Gen. Thomas.
On Oct. 13 it broke camp for Crab Orchard thence to Camp Wild

11, 1862, then joined Gen. George W. Morgan's forces and was
engaged in the movements resulting in the capture of
Cumberland Gap in June.
It then took part in the marches and skirmishes in eastern
Tennessee until the gap was evacuated in September. The
regiment was in various movements until Danville was reached,
camping there until the last of Jan., 1863, and then marching
to Louisville, Nashville, Brentwood and Franklin.
In March it fought Van Dorn's forces near Columbia, and was
engaged at Thompson's station, where about 400 of the regiment
were captured and nearly 100 killed and wounded. The
prisoners were paroled and about two months later were
exchanged and joined the regiment.
During this time the balance of the regiment remained at

army in the spring and took part in the advance upon and siege
of Atlanta, being engaged at Resaca, Cassville, New Hope
Church, Golgotha, Kolb's Farm, Kennesaw Mountain, Marietta and
Peachtree Creek, and was then before Atlanta until the
surrender.
It was in the engagement at Turner's Ferry in August and drove
a brigade out of Atlanta Sept. 2 when the mayor surrendered
the city to Col. Coburn. The regiment's loss during this
campaign was more than 300 in killed and wounded.
It remained in camp until Nov. 15, then accompanied the army
to Savannah, was in camp there until Jan. 2, 1865, and then
took part in the march through the Carolinas, being engaged at
Averasboro and Bentonville. It was at Goldsboro from March 23
to April 10, and at Raleigh until May 1.
It then proceeded to Washington, via Richmond, and moved to
Louisville in June. While at Washington a part of the 27th,
70th and 85th regiments were assigned to the 33rd and the
whole was mustered out at Louisville July 21, 1865.
