NOTES. — Organized at Rochester, N. Y., the men having been recruited mostly in Monroe, Yates, St. Law rence and Jefferson counties. Although the recruiting commenced in June, 1863, the regiment did not complete its organization until January 4, 1864. It garrisoned the forts in New York Harbor until April 23, 1864, when it was ordered to the front, and was assigned to the Ninth Corps, joining it at Warrenton, Va. On May 2, 1864, it started for the Rapidan. The regiment was in line at the Wilderness, but was only partially engaged. It was actively engaged, however, the next week, at Spotsylvania (then in Stevenson's (ist) Division), and two weeks later suffered heavily at Cold Harbor, where it lost 15 killed, 43 wounded, and 16 missing. On June 17, 1864, the Fourteenth distinguished itself by its brilliant and successful charge on the works at Petersburg; loss, 38 killed, 152 wounded, 60 missing; total, 250. Major Job C. Hedges was killed in this charge while bravely leading his battalion. At the Mine Explosion the regiment was selected to lead the assault at the Crater, and was the first to plant its colors on the enemy's works, where it captured a Confederate flag. Its casualties in this action were 10 killed, 44 wounded, and 78 missing; total, 132. The Fourteenth was on duty in the trenches, losing men daily in the constant and deadly firing which prevailed there. It also occupied Fort Stedman at the time of the Confederate sortie, March 25, 1865, and when surrounded there by the enemy, the men of the Four teenth fought their way through the opposing lines until they reached Fort Haskell, where, in company with the remainder of the regiment which was on duty there, they succeeded in holding that important position. At the Weldon Railroad the regiment was in White's (ist) Division, and sustained a loss of 6 killed, 40 wounded and 3 missing; total, 49. _05491
