AMERICAN CIVIL WAR
THE FIRST BATTLE OF BULL RUN, 1861
THE UNION ARMY
THE 14[SUP]th[/SUP] REGIMENT, NEW YORK STATE MILITIA 1861-1864
The 14[SUP]th[/SUP] Regiment New York State Militia, which was also called the 14[SUP]th[/SUP] Brooklyn Chasseurs, was a volunteer militia regiment from the city of Brooklyn, New York.
During the civil war the men of the 14[SUP]th[/SUP] Brooklyn became well known by both armies and throughout the country for their hard drill, hard fighting, and constant refusal to stand down from a fight.
There were two things the men of the Fourteenth jealously guarded. Their regimental numeral, and their red trousers.
At their time of their muster into Federal service, the men were promised by no less a figure then General Irvin McDowell, that they could use the number “14”. Officially, however the regiment bore the number “84” on the roster of New York volunteer regiments, and there was in fact another regiment called the 14[SUP]th[/SUP] New York Volunteers.
This situation always annoyed the officers and men of the Fourteenth, and throughout the unit’s civil war career, use of the number “84” was scrupulously avoided. All correspondence, payrolls, and reports were headed “14[SUP]th[/SUP] New York State Militia”, while the regiment commonly referred to itself, and was commonly known throughout the army, as the “14[SUP]th[/SUP] Brooklyn”.

The Chasseur uniform was adopted in 1860, and the regiment first paraded in it on 18[SUP]th[/SUP] April 1861. These uniforms had been furnished by the city of Brooklyn. From this date until its men were mustered out in 1864, the Chasseur uniform was worn on virtually all occasions except fatigue.
They received their nickname, the “Red legged Devils”, during the First Battle of Bull Run.
Referring to the regiment’s colourful red trousers, as the regiment repeatedly charged up Henry House Hill, Confederate General Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson yelled to his men, “Hold on Boys! Here come those red legged devils again!”

After the Battle of First Bull Run, there was a short period when it seemed that the Fourteenth would be obliged to go into the regulation blue uniform.According to its Colonel,
“… the red pants being worn out…. The army blue had to be substituted until others could be supplied by contract and, although the blue looked neat and comfortable, the men were not pleased with them as they would not be found dead without red pants on. The government soon supplied the distinctive uniform of the regiment and continued to furnish it during its term of service.”

1[SUP]st[/SUP] VIRGINIA CAVALRY REGIMENT
The 1[SUP]st[/SUP] Virginia Cavalry Regiment was formed in the spring of 1861 around the nucleus of several cavalry companies from the valley of Virginia which had been placed under the command of J.E.B. Stuart.
Regimental organization was completed by the appointment of Stuart as Colonel on 16[SUP]th[/SUP] July 1861.
The unit then comprised ten companies, lettered A-M, of men enlisted for Confederate States service for one year.
The regiment was reorganized 22[SUP]nd[/SUP] April 1862, and served thereafter through most of the civil war.

The 1[SUP]st[/SUP] Virginia Cavalry Regiment was often illustrated in the newspapers during the early days of the war. Especially during the First Manassas when Stuart, with companies H and B under R. Welby Carter and John Blair Hoge, made a dashing charge upon the 11[SUP]th[/SUP] New York Zouaves. Artists on both sides were inspired by the episode, and reporters dubbed the companies the “Black Horse Cavalry”.
The troopers performed well during this engagement, and it was in no time, especially under the inspiring leadership of Stuart and Fitzhugh Lee, that they grew into one of the crack mounted outfits of the Confederate service.
