notes.--The Fourteenth sustained the largest percentage of loss of any regiment from the
State.
It left
Hartford August 25, 1862, and joined
McClellan's Army while on the march to
Antietam, being assigned to
Morris's (2d) Brigade, French's (3d) Division, Second Corps.
Its losses at
Antietam were 20 killed, 88 wounded, and 48 missing; at
Fredericksburg, 11 killed, 87 wounded, and 22 missing. The Fourteenth won special and merited honors at
Gettysburg by a charge, on the forenoon of the third day, in which it drove the enemy's sharpshooters out of a barn situated between the lines.
In the afternoon it assisted in the repulse of
Pickett's charge, at which time the regiment captured five stands of colors Its casualties at
Gettysburg, were 10 killed, 52 wounded, and 4 missing. In the affair at Morton's Ford--February 6, 1864--the brunt of the fight fell on the Fourteenth; it was ably handled there by
Lieutenant-Colonel Samuel A. Moore, and its casualties were 6 killed, 90 wounded, and 19 missing. In March, 1864, it was transferred to
Gibbon's (2d) Division, in which it remained without further change.
In December, 1864, the regiment had become reduced to 180 men for duty; it was armed with
Sharpe's rifles, and though small in numbers, was considered one of the best in the division.
In the final battles of the war its percentage of loss was heavy in each action, although not numerically large.
