Two Soldiers of the
14th Brooklyn
14th New York State Militia 1862 Period.

This is a study of two soldiers of my personal favorite fighting Regiment of the Civil War. The fighting 14th Brooklyn. This study is based on research and and examination of original surviving Civil War period uniforms of the 14th N.Y.S.M. that are currently housed in the New York State Archives as well as a private collection. One interesting detail that was not formally known about is that apparently a few of the chasseur tunics worn by this regiment had a thin line of red piping at the base of the neck collar. Only one surviving jacket has this piping. However, photographic evidence seems to indicate that at least a few other members of the regiment had this type or similar embellishments on their jackets.
