14th Louisiana Colour:




History :
The regiment was organized on June 16, 1861 as the 1st Regiment of the Polish Brigade. It was included into the Confederate States Army as the 13th Louisiana Regiment in Camp Pulaski near Amite on August 24, 1861. The regiment received marching orders for Virginia. During the march, a group of soldiers became drunk and mutineed in Grand Junction, Tennessee. Before the officers restored order, five man were killed. As a result of this incident, one company (probably the B Company) was disbanded. The regiment made its way to Yorktown in September 1862. On September 1st, 1862 the War Department changed the regiment's designation to the 14th Regiment of Louisiana. The soldiers were entrenched during the Siege of Yorktown in April 1862 and fought in the Battle of Williamsburg on May 5. On the second day of the Battle of Seven Pines, the regiment did not take part in any serious fighting. The regiment took part in the battles of Mechanicsville (Jun 26), Gaines' Mill (Jun 27) and Frayser's Farm (Jun 30). During these operations 243 men were killed or wounded. On June 26 the regiment joined the Louisiana 1st Brigade, consisting of the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th regiments. The soldiers saw only skirmishes during the Battle of Cedar Mountain (Aug 9). During the Second Manassas Campaign, the regiment fought in the battles of Bristoe Station (Aug 26), Kettle Run (Aug 27) and the Second Battle of Manassas (Aug 29-30), also taking part in the Battle of Chantilly (Sep 1). The losses sustained by the regiment in these battles amounted to 49 dead, wounded or missing. The 14th Louisiana was transfered to the Louisiana 2nd Brigade in exchange for the 9th Louisiana Regiment, joining the 1st, 2nd, 10th and 15th regiments. During the Battle of Fredericksburg, on Oct 13 the regiment was in the reserve, joining the fight against the enemy on the next day.

The regiment took part in Stonewall Jackson's march on the flank of the Federal Army at Chancelorsville on May 2-3 1863. During the Battle of Winchester on Jun 15, the regiment captured 300 to 400 POW's from the 67th Pennsylvania Regiment. During the Battle of Gettysburg, on Jun 2-3, the brigade was attacking Culp's Hill, resulting in 65 men dead or wounded. Returning to Virginia, the regiment took part in the Bristoe Station Campaign (Oct 9-22). During the Battle of Payne's Farm (Nov 27), the unit lost 28 men.

In 1864, the 14th Louisiana took part in the Battle of Wilderness (May 5) and the Spotsylvania Campaign (May 9-20). On May 12, the enemy reached the brigade's trenches and took most of the soldiers captive. After the fights around Cold Harbour (Jun 1-3), the regiment joined general Early's army in the Shenandoah Valley. There, the unit took place in all of the army's battles from July to October. The regiment sustained such heavy losses, that it had to be merged with the 1st Regiment into a single A Company. The unit joined the Army of North Virginia at Petersburg in October and was entrenched until the city's evacuation in April 1865.

At the moment of surrender at Appomattox, on Apr 9, 1864, the unit consisted of only two officers and 25 soldiers. Around 1026 men have served in the regiment during the entire war: 184 were killed, 84 died of diseases, one died in an accident, one drowned, one was murdered and five were killed during the mutiny at Grand Junction.
