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.
