notes.--Organized at
Norwich, N. Y., leaving there on September 6, 1862, and journeying to
Binghamton on canal boats, a long line of them being used for the purpose.
Seven of the companies had been recruited in
Chenango county, and three in
Madison.
The regiment sailed from
Baltimore on November 6, 1862, for New Orleans, where it was assigned to
Weitzel's Brigade,
Augur's Division, Nineteenth Corps, and stationed at
Brashear City, La.
Its first experience under fire was at
Fort Bisland, April 112, 1863, where several men were wounded, some of them mortally.
After the
Teche Campaign,--a march through “the garden of
Louisiana,” --the One Hundred and Fourteenth, on May 30, 1863, joined its Corps, which had already invested
Port Hudson, and for forty days participated in the incessant fighting which echoed through the magnolia woods about the works.
In the grand assault of June 14th,
Colonel Smith, while in command of the brigade, was killed.
The total loss of the regiment during the siege of
Port Hudson was 11 killed, 60 wounded, and 2 missing.
On March 15, 1864,--in
Dwight's (1st) Brigade,
Emory's (1st) Division,--it started on
Banks's
Red River campaign, traversing the
Teche country for the sixth time, and fighting at Sabine Cross Roads, where
Lieutenant-Colonel Morse, the regimental commandant, was wounded.
The Nineteenth Corps having been ordered to
Virginia, the One Hundred and Fourteenth embarked for
Washington on July 15, 1864, and after marching through
Maryland, fought under
Sheridan in his famous
Shenandoah campaign against
Early.
At the battle of the
Opequon, the regiment lost 185 men killed and wounded--three-fifths of those engaged — eliciting by its gallantry a complimentary notice from the
Division General.
At
Cedar Creek it lost 21 killed, 86 wounded, and 8 missing. The regiment was mustered out at
Elmira on June 17, 1865.
