It’s been less than a year since the 33rd New York Infantry Regiment, an early two year organization, was mustered out. 150 years ago a chronicle of its service had just been published.

From a Seneca County, New York in January 1864:

THE CAMPAIGN OF THE 33d REGIMENT. – The history of the 33d Regiment, N.Y.S.V., from its organization down to the time it was mustered out of the service, has just been issued from the press by David W. Judd, a war correspondent of the New York Times. It is a volume of 400 pages, and embraces a truthful and thrilling narrative of the campaign of the gallant old 33d. It will soon be offered for sale in this vicinity.
