14th [Brooklyn] Infantry, N.Y.S.M. [84th. N.Y. Volunteers]

The 14th Brooklyn Infantry, N.Y.S.M., also known as the 84th New York Volunteers, served in the 2d Brigade, 1st Division, 1st Corps. At about 9 p.m. on July 2, 1863, while moving from its position to the left to reinforce Greene's Brigade, the regiment unexpectedly encountered the advance of Johnson's Division of Ewell's Corps, which had crossed the abandoned works and was advancing toward the Baltimore Pike. By opening fire, the regiment caused the attackers to halt until the 12th Corps returned and drove them back. At daylight on July 3, the regiment rejoined the brigade but soon moved again to the right to reinforce the 12th Corps, fought in the trenches, and lay in reserve until the repulse of the enemy. In the first day's battle, the regiment was heavily engaged with the 1st Corps at the Railroad beyond the Seminary. It lost in the battle 13 killed, 105 wounded, and 99 missing.
