The 14th Regiment New York State Militia (also called the 14th Brooklyn Chasseurs and officially known during the American Civil War as 84th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment) was a volunteer militia regiment from the City of Brooklyn, New York. During its 3 years in service the regiment sustained 717 casualties, nearly 41% of its men.
The unit was also know as: 84th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment, Fourteenth Regiment, N.Y.S.M (New York State Militia), Red Legged Devils, 14th Brooklyn, Lincoln's Pups, Brooklyn Phalanx, Brooklyn Chasseurs, Chasseurs a Pied (French for Hunters on Foot), The Fighting 14th, Brooklyn Zouaves and the Brooklyn Red Legs.
