14th National Hockey League All-Star Game, A Farewell to the Rocket
The 14th game was the first all-star game that did not have Maurice "Rocket" Richard in the lineup, as he had retired after winning the Stanley Cup a year ago. The pre-game events both honored the all-stars, as was the norm, but was also a celebration of the Rocket's career. Among one of the gifts the Rocket received was an alarm clock, which would continually sound unchecked, due to Richard's inability to turn the alarm off.

14th National Television Awards
I've had the most brilliant, bewildering and life-changing time working on Doctor Who, I have loved every day of it. It would be very easy to cling on to the TARDIS console forever and I fear that if I don't take a deep breath and make the decision to move on now, then I simply never will... I don't want to outstay my welcome.

The 14th New York State Legislature, consisting of the New York State Senate and the New York State Assembly, met from January 5 to March 24, 1791, during the fourteenth year of George Clinton's governorship, in New York City.


14th New York State Legislature, Background
Under the provisions of the New York Constitution of 1777, the State Senators were elected on general tickets in the senatorial districts, and were then divided into four classes. Six senators each drew lots for a term of 1, 2, 3 or 4 years and, beginning at the election in April 1778, every year six Senate seats came up for election to a four-year term. Assemblymen were elected countywide on general tickets to a one-year term, the whole assembly being renewed annually.


14th New York State Legislature, Background
In March 1786, the Legislature enacted that future Legislatures meet on the first Tuesday of January of each year unless called earlier by the governor. No general meeting place was determined, leaving it to each Legislature to name the place where to reconvene, and if no place could be agreed upon, the Legislature should meet again where it adjourned.


14th New York State Legislature, Background
On January 27, 1790, the 13th New York State Legislature resolved that it was incompatible to hold a federal office at the same time as a seat in the Legislature, and declared the seats of James Duane, John Laurance, John Hathorn, Philip Schuyler and Rufus King vacant. Besides, Anthony Hoffman died early in 1790, leaving a total of four vacancies (Hathorn's term was expiring anyway) in the State Senate, to be filled by special elections.


14th New York State Legislature, Background
In August 1790, the 1st United States Congress adjourned at Federal Hall and reconvened in December at Congress Hall in Philadelphia. In January 1791, the State Legislature returned to the vacated Federal Hall for the next three sessions before the State capital was permanently established at Albany in 1794.

14th New York State Legislature, Background
At this time the politicians were divided into two opposing political parties: the Federalists and the Democratic-Republicans. However, at this early time party lines were not yet as distinctly drawn as they became in the 19th century. Many politicians changed sides, and voted according to their personal opinions on issues and people, what can be seen especially at the U.S. Senate election, in which Philip Schuyler, one of the leading Federalists, was voted down by a nominal Federalist majority of the Legislature.

Philip Schuyler had been elected to the U.S. Senate in 1789, and drew the Class 1 lot, so his seat came up for election by the Legislature.


14th New York State Legislature, Elections
The State election was held from April 27 to 29, 1790. Senators John Williams (Eastern D.) and Peter Schuyler (Western D.) were re-elected; and David Gelston (Southern D.), David Pye (Middle D.), and Assemblymen Philip Van Cortlandt (Southern D.) and Stephen Van Renssealaer (Western D.) were also elected to full terms in the Senate. Peter Lefferts (Southern D.), Leonard Gansevoort (Western D.) and Assemblymen Samuel Jones (Southern D.) and Thomas Tillotson (Middle D.) were elected to fill vacancies in the Senate.


14th New York State Legislature, Sessions
The Legislature was to meet for the regular session on January 4, 1791, at Federal Hall in New York City; both Houses assembled a quorum on the next day; and adjourned on March 24.


14th New York State Legislature, Sessions
The Legislature elected NY Attorney General Aaron Burr a U.S. Senator from New York, to succeed Philip Schuyler. Schuyler was the Federalist candidate to succeed himself, Burr was the Democratic-Republican challenger. Although both Houses had a nominal Federalist majority, Burr won in the Senate by a vote of 12 to 4, and in the Assembly with a majority of 5 votes. Many of the Federalists took the opportunity to show their disapproval of both Schuyler's haughtiness and the financial policies of Schuyler's son-in-law Alexander Hamilton, the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury. Besides, the Livingston faction of the Federalist Party felt betrayed after the election of Rufus King over their candidate James Duane in 1789, and now allied themselves with Clinton and later became Democratic-Republicans.


14th New York State Legislature, Sessions
On February 7, 1791, the Legislature re-apportioned the Senate and Assembly districts. The area of Columbia and Rensselaer counties were transferred from the Western to the Eastern District; and the Southern and the Western districts lost one senator each, which were added to the Eastern District. The total number of assemblymen was again set at 70; but several new counties were established: Herkimer (1), Ontario (1), Otsego (1), Rensselaer (5), Saratoga (4) and Tioga (1); Kings, Orange, Queens, Richmond, Suffolk, Ulster and Westchester lost 1 seat, and Montgomery and New York lost 2; and Columbia won 3 seats.

14th Operations Group
The 14th Operations Group is the flying component of the 14th Flying Training Wing, assigned to the United States Air Force's Air Education and Training Command. The group is stationed at Columbus Air Force Base, Mississippi.


14th Operations Group
The group was first activated in 1941 as the 14th Pursuit Group at Hamilton Field, California. For a short time following the Attack on Pearl Harbor it flew patrols along the Pacific coast. It moved to the United Kingdom as the 14th Fighter Group in the summer of 1942 and was the first fighter unit to ferry its own aircraft across the Atlantic. After combat training with the Royal Air Force, the group moved to the Mediterranean Theater of Operations following Operation Torch, the North Africa invasion. It continued in combat until V-E Day, earning a Distinguished Unit Citation for defending bombers attacking a target in Austria in 1944. It was inactivated in Italy in September 1945.


14th Operations Group
The 14th was again activated at Dow Field, Maine in 1946 as part of Air Defense Command (ADC). It became the first Army Air Forces combat unit to equip with the Republic P-84 Thunderjet. The group was inactivated in 1949 when reductions in the Department of Defense budget required a reduction of groups in the United States Air Force (USAF) to 48.


14th Operations Group
In the summer of 1955 the group was activated at Ethan Allen Air Force Base, where it assumed the mission, personnel and equipment of the 517th Air Defense Group under ADC's Project Arrow, which was designed to replace post-war units with fighter organizations with distinguished combat records. It remained there until 1960, when it was inactivated.


14th Operations Group
The group was again activated as the 14th Operations Group at Columbus Air Force Base, Mississippi in December 1991 and assumed its current mission of training pilots for the USAF.


14th Operations Group, Components
The 14th Operations Group (Tail Code: CB) consists of the following squadrons:


14th Operations Group, History, World War II
The 14th Pursuit Group was activated on 15 January 1941 at Hamilton Field, California. It moved to March Field in California in early June 1941. The group trained with Curtiss P-40 Warhawks, Republic P-43 Lancers and Lockheed P-38D/E Lightnings. It returned to Hamilton Field on 7 February 1942 to receive operational P-38Fs and flew patrols on the west coast of the US after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Although these fighters were not yet combat ready, P-38 outfits had the only truly modern fighters then available to the Army Air Forces (AAF), and provided West Coast defense at a time that Japanese attacks on the US mainland were believed to be imminent.


14th Operations Group, History, World War II
Even though the defense of the US west coast initially took priority, plans were made in the spring of 1942 to deploy the 14th and other P-38 groups to Great Britain. The group was redesignated as the 14th Fighter Group in May 1942. The ground echelon departed 16 July 1942 on the first stage of the movement to England. They sailed on the USS West Point in early August 1942, and arrived in Liverpool on 17 August 1942. The air echelon departed for Bradley Field, Connecticut on 1 July 1942.


14th Operations Group, History, World War II
It flew its P-38s to the United Kingdom via the northern ferry route. The first aircraft departed Presque Isle Army Air Field, Maine on 22 July 1942. The 50th Fighter Squadron remained in Iceland and was reassigned to the 342d Composite Group to assist the Curtiss P-40Cs of the 33d Fighter Squadron in the flying of defensive patrols over the Atlantic. This was the first transatlantic crossing successfully made by single-seat fighters. In Britain, the group was stationed at RAF Atcham as part of Eighth Air Force.


14th Operations Group, History, World War II
The 14th was reassigned to the XII Fighter Command of Twelfth Air Force on 14 September 1942, but continued to operate under VIII Fighter Command until mid-October flying sweeps over France and performing practice missions under the Royal Air Force's guidance. The Ground echelon left Atcham on 30 October 1942, and sailed on the USS Brazil and USS Uruguay from Liverpool and arrived in Oran, Algeria on 10 November 1942. The air echelon departed for North Africa on 6 November 1942, and flew to Tafaraoui Airfield, Algeria from 10 to 14 November 1942.


14th Operations Group, History, World War II
From bases in Algeria, and later Tunisia, the group flew escort, strafing, and reconnaissance missions from the middle of November 1942 to late in January 1943. In November, Lt. Carl T. Williams scored the first United States victory in the western desert over a German aircraft and Lt. Virgil Smith became the first American ace in the theater. The Lightnings were soon in regular combat in the North African Campaign.


14th Operations Group, History, World War II
The 14th contributed a great deal toward the establishment of local air superiority in the area, being effective against bombers and had wreaked great havoc among Rommel's air transport well out to sea. The P-38s earned the German nickname "der Gabelschwanz Teufel"—the Fork-Tailed Devil. In January 1943, the 14th was withdrawn from combat, with some of the men and planes being reassigned to the 1st and 82d Fighter Groups.


14th Operations Group, History, World War II
The group resumed combat operations in May, being re-equipped with the P-38F and some P-38Gs. Already prior to the Axis defeat in Tunisia, the Northwest African Air Forces (of which the Twelfth Air Force was a component) had begun preparations for the invasion of Sicily. Attacks on Sicily, on Pantelleria and on Lampedusa were stepped up in preparation for Operation Husky, the invasion of Sicily on 10 July 1943. The group flew dive-bombing missions during the Allied assault on Pantelleria. It helped prepare for and support the invasions of Sicily and Italy.


14th Operations Group, History, World War II
In a combined operation code named "Nostril" elements of 14th and 1st FighterGroup provided cover for a British Naval group in the Aegean Sea in the Doceconese Islands Group on 7–9 October 43. On 9 Oct, the 37th Squadron of the 14th Fighter Group led by Maj William L. Leverette intercepted a squadron of 27 JU-87s over the British Naval group.


14th Operations Group, History, World War II
In the ensuing engagement this squadron claimed 16 downed Junkers JU-87s and one JU-88 : Maj Leverette – 7 (a record for the most victories in one sortie in the MTOI); Lt H. T.  Hanna – 5 (becoming an ace in one day); Lt Homer L Sprinkle – 3; Lt Robert Margison – 1; and Lt Wayne L Blue – 1 JU-88.


14th Operations Group, History, World War II
The 14th was reassigned to Fifteenth Air Force in November 1943, and moved to Triolo Airfield, Italy. It engaged primarily in escort work flying many missions to cover bombers engaged in long-range operations against strategic objectives in Italy, France, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Austria, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Romania, and Bulgaria. However, on occasion, the group escorted the medium bombers of the Twelfth Air Force. On 2 April 1944, the 14th Fighter Group earned a Distinguished Unit Citation for beating off attacks by enemy fighters while escorting bombers attacking ball-bearing and aircraft production facilities at Steyr, Austria, enabling the bombers to strike their targets.


14th Operations Group, History, World War II
In late July and early August 1944, the 14th flew shuttle missions to Russia and returned to their Italian base after spending three days at a Soviet base in the Ukraine. Along with their P-51 escorts, they shot down thirty German planes and destroyed twelve on the ground. The last Lightning shuttle mission was flown on 4/6 August.


14th Operations Group, History, World War II
The group provided escort for reconnaissance operations, supported the invasion of Southern France in August 1944, and on numerous occasions flew long-range missions to strafe and dive-bomb motor vehicles, trains, bridges, supply areas, airdromes, and troop concentrations in an area extending from France to the Balkans. The 14th Fighter Group was inactivated in Italy on 9 September 1945.


14th Operations Group, History, Cold War
The Group was once more activated in the US on 20 November 1946 at Dow Field, Maine as part of the First Air Force of Air Defense Command (ADC). Its assigned squadrons were 37th, 48th and 49th Fighter Squadrons. The 14th Fighter Group was one of the first AAF groups assigned to ADC.


14th Operations Group, History, Cold War
The group was initially equipped with surplus Republic P-47N Thunderbolts and was responsible for air defense of the Northeastern United States. In 1947 became the first unit to be equipped with the Republic P-84B Thunderjets. However, deficiencies discovered during testing of the Thunderjets required restrictions on the new jets that limited their operational use. These restrictions were made more acute by maintenance difficulties and lack of trained maintenance personnel.


14th Operations Group, History, Cold War
In July 1947 the group deployed to Muroc Air Force Base, California to conduct accelerated service tests with new F-84Bs prior to acceptance. The first operational production USAF F-84Bs arrived at Dow on 7 November; the last F-84B was delivered in February 1948. Throughout the winter of 1947/48 the 14th Fighter Group lost three F-84s at Dow. Findings indicated that the extreme cold weather at the base enhanced aircraft performance over what was found during testing in California, however as the temperatures moderated in the spring of 1948, accident rate remained high. In May 1948, the group's entire fleet was grounded until inspections could be performed on each aircraft, but the earlier restrictions still applied when the planes returned to service.


14th Operations Group, History, Cold War
With the F-84s, the 14th's mission was daylight and fair weather defense of northeast United States from New York City north to Maine/New Brunswick border, shared with the 52d Fighter Group (All-Weather) at Mitchel Air Force Base, New York which flew F-82 Twin Mustangs for night and inclement weather operations.


14th Operations Group, History, Cold War
In August 1947, the Air Force began a service test of the Wing-Base organization. As a result, the group was assigned to the 14th Fighter Wing, along with three newly created support groups. This reorganization was intended to unify control at air bases, This test proved the wing-base plan to the satisfaction of the Air Force.


14th Operations Group, History, Cold War
In July 1949, the group sent sixteen F-84Bs to New York City for a flyover display at newly opened Idlewild Airport. President Truman's reduced 1949 defense budget required reductions in the number of groups in the Air Force to 48, and the group was inactivated on 2 October 1949, Its F-84B aircraft were returned to Republic Aircraft for refurbishment and reassignment to Air National Guard units.


14th Operations Group, History, Cold War
The group was redesignated as the 14th Fighter Group (Air Defense) and reactivated on 18 August 1955 at Ethan Allen Air Force Base, Vermont to replace the 517th Air Defense Group, whose mission, equipment, and personnel were transferred to the 14th as part of ADC's Project Arrow, which was designed to bring back on the active list the fighter units that had compiled memorable records in the two world wars. Its operational component was the 37th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron (FIS), which was already stationed at Ethan Allen.


14th Operations Group, History, Cold War
It was initially assigned to Air Defense Command (ADC)'s 4711th Defense Wing and equipped with airborne intercept radar equipped and Mighty Mouse rocket armed North American F-86D Sabre interceptor aircraft. It also acted as the host organization for USAF units at Ethan Allen and was assigned several support units to fulfill that duty. It was reassigned to the 32d Air Division (Defense), 1 March 1956. Its 37th FIS upgraded in December 1957 to the F-102 Delta Dagger interceptor until being inactivated on 1 May 1960. The group wound up active USAF operations at Ethan Allen and inactivated along with its support organizations the following month.


14th Operations Group, History, Modern era
While inactive, the group was redesignated as the 14th Tactical Fighter Group, but was redesignated as the 14th Operations Group (OG) in December 1991 and activated as a result of the 14th Flying Training Wing (FTW) implementing the USAF Objective Wing reorganization.


14th Operations Group, History, Modern era
Upon activation, the 14th OG was assigned the flying and operational support components of the 14th FTW.


14th Operations Group, History, Modern era
From its activation, the group trained USAF and allied pilots in basic flying skills and from 1993 to 2005 in fighter fundamentals, using AT-38 aircraft. In 1993, Captains Kathy McDonald and Ellen McKinnon became the first women at Columbus Air Force Base to complete the fighter fundamentals course. On 27 January 1995, Second Lieutenant Kelly Flinn graduated from pilot training with the 14th Operations Group on her way to becoming the first woman to enter B-52 Stratofortress combat crew training. Fighter fundamentals training at Columbus resumed on 10 May 2007 with the reassignment of the 49th Fighter Training Squadron from Moody Air Force Base, Georgia.


14th Operations Group, History, Modern era
Colonel Stan Lawrie took command of the group in July 2016. Today the group's six squadrons are responsible for the 52-week Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training (SUPT) mission at Columbus Air Force Base for the U.S. Air Force and international officers. The group uses a fleet of Beechcraft T-6 Texan II, Northrop T-38 Talon, and Raytheon T-1 Jayhawk aircraft and flight simulators. Its 250 aircraft fly about 90,000 hours annually in 11,500 square miles (30,000 km2) of airspace.

In June 1941, as part of Army Group South, the division took part in the invasion of the Soviet Union. It was involved almost continuously in the fighting throughout 1941, including the first winter on the Eastern Front. In early 1942, the division took part in the German summer offensives as Army Group South advanced through the Kharkov and Don regions. It was transferred to Friedrich Paulus' VI Army, which was encircled at Stalingrad soon after. By February 1943, the division had been destroyed in the fighting at the Battle of Stalingrad.


14th Panzer Division (Wehrmacht), World War II
The division was reformed in Brittany, France. By November 1943, it was combat ready, transferring back to Army Group South on the Eastern Front. It now had an additional battalion of StuG assault guns, the III/36 Panzer Regiment. The division was part of Army Group South up to June 1944. In August, after being refitted, it was transferred to Army Group North to the Courland area (now Latvia and Lithuania). The refit included delivery of Panther tanks.


14th Panzer Division (Wehrmacht), World War II
In January 1945, the Red Army launched a number of major offensives across the Eastern Front. Much of Army Group North - including the 14th Panzer Division - was bypassed and became trapped in the Courland Pocket, and remained there until Germany's surrender in May 1945. The division was disbanded during the last weeks of the war, with its personnel being formed into two panzer brigades. Parts of the division were evacuated to Germany in the last week of the war and surrendered to the Western Allies while those units remaining surrendered to Soviet forces on 10 May 1945.


14th Panzergrenadier Division (Bundeswehr)
The 14th Panzergrenadier Division (14. Panzergrenadierdivision) was a German mechanized infantry formation. It was part of the Multinational Corps Northeast, a NATO corps that includes German, Polish, and Danish troops. In the wake of military restructuring aimed at reducing the size of the German land forces, the 14th Panzergrenadier Division was disbanded in 2008. The division's formation was notable in that it was a Bundeswehr formation created after the reunification of the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic, and which was formed in part from soldiers who had served in the National People's Army (NVA) of the GDR.


14th Panzergrenadier Division (Bundeswehr)
In 1990-1991, troops from the former 1st and 8th Motor Rifle Divisions and the 9th Armored Division of the NVA were used to form the three brigades of the 14th Panzergrenadier Division. These brigades were numbered as the 40th and 41st Panzergrenadier Brigades and the 42nd Panzer Brigade. In 1997, the 42nd Panzer Brigade was subordinated to the 13th Panzergrenadier Division and the 18th Panzer Brigade was subordinated to the 14th Panzergrenadier Division. Division headquarters was located at Neubrandenburg.


14th Panzergrenadier Division (Bundeswehr)
The division was given the mission of supporting international operations as well as the standard national defense mission. International operations the division took part in include:

14th Parliament of Turkey, Main parliamentary milestones
Some of the important events in the history of the parliament are the following:


14th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment
The 14th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment (also known as the 159th Pennsylvania Volunteers) was a cavalry regiment of the Union Army during the American Civil War. Most of its fighting happened in the last half of 1863 and full year 1864. The regiment fought mainly in West Virginia and Virginia, often as part of a brigade or division commanded by Brigadier General William W. Averell and later Brigadier General William Powell.


14th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment
The regiment was organized near Pittsburgh between August and November 1862. With the exception of one company from the Philadelphia area, its recruits were from western Pennsylvania. The regiment's original commander, Colonel James M. Schoonmaker, was one of the youngest regimental commanders in the Union Army at 20 years old. Pittsburgh attorney William Blakeley was the regiment's original lieutenant colonel.


14th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment
Among battles where the regiment saw action were the Battle of White Sulphur Springs, Battle of Droop Mountain, Battle of Moorefield, and the Third Battle of Winchester. It had two officers and 97 enlisted men killed or mortally wounded. Disease killed 296 enlisted men. The three original Majors were Thomas Gibson, Shadrack Foley, and John M. Daily. Captain Thomas R. Kerr won the Medal of Honor for capturing a regimental flag at Moorefield where he was an advance scout, while Schoonmaker received the same award for action at the Third Battle of Winchester.


14th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment, Formation and organization
James M. Schoonmaker, of Pittsburgh, began recruiting for a federal volunteer battalion of cavalry on August 18, 1862. At the time, he was a lieutenant in the Union's 1st Maryland Cavalry Regiment. An accomplished horseman, he had so much success in recruiting that both Pennsylvania governor Andrew Gregg Curtin and Secretary of War Edwin Stanton authorized him to recruit a full cavalry regiment of 12 companies. With the exception of Philadelphia's Company A, recruiting was conducted in western Pennsylvania. Allegheny, Armstrong, and Fayette counties accounted for portions of eight of the regiment's 12 companies.


14th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment, Formation and organization
The men were mustered into service from August 21 through November 4, 1862, for three years. By November, a full regiment was recruited, and it was mustered into service on November 23, 1862, as the 14th Pennsylvania Volunteer Cavalry. In Pennsylvania, the regiment was also known as the One Hundred and Fifty-Ninth Pennsylvania Volunteers, since it was the 159th regiment of any branch raised in Pennsylvania.


14th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment, Formation and organization
Original leadership was Schoonmaker as colonel and William H. Blakeley as lieutenant colonel. Thomas Gibson, Shadrack Foley, and John M. Daily were majors of the First, Second, and Third battalions, respectively. Other notable officers included Captain Ashbel F. Duncan of Company E and 2nd Lieutenant Thomas R. Kerr of Company C. Schoonmaker was only 20 years and four months old at the time, making him one of the youngest regiment commanders in the Union Army.


14th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment, Formation and organization
The regiment spent time at Camp Howe and Camp Montgomery, near Pittsburgh, before moving to Hagerstown, Maryland on November 24, where it received horses, arms, and equipment. On December 28, the regiment moved to Harper's Ferry, Virginia, where it was assigned picket and reconnaissance (scouting) duty. At that time it was part of the Middle Department that became the VIII Army Corps a few months later.


14th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment, Formation and organization
On May 7, 1863, a detachment of unmounted men was left in Harper's Ferry under the command of Major Foley, while the remaining portion of the regiment rode the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (a.k.a. B&O Railroad) west to join the 4th Separate Brigade of the VIII Army Corps at Grafton, Virginia. Grafton was a strategic point early in the American Civil War because it had a terminal for the B&O Railroad. The regiment was initially tasked with duty protecting the nearby communities of Philippi, Beverly and Webster. On May 23, Brigadier General William W. Averell took command of the brigade, relieving Brigadier General Benjamin S. Roberts. Averell's 4th Separate Brigade had one cavalry regiment, three mounted infantry regiments, two infantry regiments, a cavalry battalion consisting of four companies, and two batteries.


14th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment, Early action
On July 2, the command of Colonel Thomas M. Harris of the 10th West Virginia Infantry Regiment was attacked by 1,700 Confederate soldiers and nearly surrounded near its camp in Beverly. Two squadrons of the 14th Pennsylvania Cavalry, under the command of Major Gibson, were sent to Harris' assistance, and arrived about four miles (6.4 km) north of Beverly around 3:00 am on July 3. They surprised Confederate infantry along the Cheat River at about 8:00 am, and drove them back to a breastworks containing 4,000 men.


14th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment, Early action
Around noon, Averell arrived with a battery and his three mounted infantry regiments, and drove the Confederate force south. More skirmishing was conducted on July 4 near Huttonville as the Confederates were driven further south. Fighting ended in rain around midnight, and the Union force returned to Webster in the morning.


14th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment, Early action
Averell's Brigade boarded an eastbound train on July 8, and reported to Cumberland, Maryland to assist in pursuing Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia while it retreated from the Battle of Gettysburg. On July 13, the regiment under the command of Colonel Schoonmaker formed a junction with the Army of the Potomac and captured one of Lee's supply wagon trains along with several hundred prisoners. More prisoners were captured by the regiment on the next day. A detachment commanded by Major Foley rejoined the regiment shortly after July 15.


14th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment, Early action
Earlier on July 4, Foley led a force of 300 men (including men from the 14th Pennsylvania Cavalry and other regiments) that burned a Potomac River bridge and took Confederate prisoners when trying to prevent Lee from escaping to Virginia. The reunited regiment crossed the Potomac River at Cherry Run on July 17, and marched through Hedgesville. They confronted Major General Jubal Early's Division of infantry artillery on July 19. The regiment, with Averell's Brigade and a division commanded by Brigadier General Benjamin Franklin Kelley, drove Early's Division back to Martinsburg. However, scouts discovered that Early was trying to move around the Union flank, so the Union force responded with a retreat to the safety of the other side of the Potomac River.


14th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment, Averell's raids in 1863, Averell's raid in West Virginia
On August 15, while in Petersburg in West Virginia's Hardy County, Averell received orders to destroy a saltpeter works, drive the Confederate Army out of Huntersville, and retrieve law books from Lewisburg after driving out any Confederate forces there. At that time, Averell's force consisted of the 3rd and 8th West Virginia Mounted Infantries, the 14th Pennsylvania Cavalry, Ewing's Battery, and Gibson's Cavalry Battalion. Gibson's Battalion was led by the Major Thomas Gibson of the 14th Pennsylvania Cavalry, and consisted six companies that were from three different regiments.


14th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment, Averell's raids in 1863, Averell's raid in West Virginia
The brigade destroyed a saltpeter works near Franklin on August 19, and drove Confederate troops commanded by Colonel William L. "Mudwall" Jackson away from Huntersville on August 22. The brigade moved east and the 14th Pennsylvania Cavalry was involved in a skirmish near Warm Springs, Virginia, on August 24. Another saltpeter works was destroyed further south on August 25, and Averell's advance guard was intercepted by Confederate troops slightly east of White Sulphur Springs on the morning of August 26.


14th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment, Averell's raids in 1863, Averell's raid in West Virginia
Fighting, in what became known as the Battle of White Sulphur Springs, lasted all day with neither side making much progress. During the battle, the 2nd West Virginia Infantry was caught in an exposed position too far from the rest of the Union lines. A mounted portion of the 14th Pennsylvania Cavalry was sent to make a diversion by charging down the road toward the Confederate fortifications.


14th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment, Averell's raids in 1863, Averell's raid in West Virginia
A soldier from the 2nd West Virginia wrote that the 14th Pennsylvania "made one of the most daring charges of the war, not only facing a murderous storm of leaden hail from the front but also, to their surprise, received an enfilading fire along their flank from a large body of infantry concealed in a cornfield...." The charge was led by Colonel Schoonmaker and Captain John Bird from Company G. Bird was wounded, captured, and eventually taken to Libby Prison. Schoonmaker's horse was shot but he escaped on a dead soldier's horse.


14th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment, Averell's raids in 1863, Averell's raid in West Virginia
Over 100 men from the 14th Pennsylvania Cavalry were killed, wounded, or captured in the battle—nearly half of all Union casualties. Fighting ended in the morning of the next day as both sides nearly exhausted their ammunition. Averell did not reach Lewisburg, and struggled north to safety by August 31 using blockades, deceptions, night marches, and back roads.


14th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment, Averell's raids in 1863, Averell's Lewisburg and railroad raid
On October 23, Averell was ordered to capture, or drive away, a Confederate force stationed near Lewisburg in Greenbrier County, West Virginia. A second Union force, which was commanded by Brigadier General Alfred N. Duffié, would approach Lewisburg from another direction and provide assistance. After Lewisburg, Averell was to attack the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad if practicable, and destroy the railroad bridge over the New River. Averell departed on November 1 and arrived at Huntersville on November 4.


14th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment, Averell's raids in 1863, Averell's Lewisburg and railroad raid
From Huntersville, Averell attempted to encircle a Confederate cavalry regiment before it could retreat south. Averell used mounted forces commanded by Colonel John H. Oley and Colonel Schoonmaker, with Schoonmaker using the shorter (southwestern) route to try to cut off the Confederate regiment while Oley used a northwestern route to follow the Confederate rear. Confederate Colonel William W. Arnett became aware of the danger, and fled south toward Confederate troops commanded by Colonel William L. Jackson.


14th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment, Averell's raids in 1863, Averell's Lewisburg and railroad raid
Schoonmaker's force consisted of the 14th Pennsylvania Cavalry and 3rd West Virginia Mounted Infantry, and they skirmished with entrenched Confederate troops near Mill Point as the Confederate cavalry escaped the trap. With the support of Oley and later Averell with the remainder of the brigade, Schoonmaker helped drive the Confederates back toward Droop Mountain.


14th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment, Averell's raids in 1863, Averell's Lewisburg and railroad raid
On November 6 at Droop Mountain, Averell's Brigade soundly defeated an entrenched Confederate Army commanded by Brigadier General John Echols and Colonel Jackson. On Averell's left, Schoonmaker commanded a force that included the 14th Pennsylvania Cavalry and most of the artillery. They created a diversion that enabled two infantry regiments to flank the Confederate mountaintop position, causing Confederate troops to be nearly surrounded before they fled south. When the fighting was mostly over, Gibson's Battalion was used to pursue the retreating Confederates. The raid on the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad was called off after reaching Lewisburg.


14th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment, Averell's raids in 1863, Salem raid
The Salem raid on the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad began on December 8, when Averell's Brigade departed from New Creek (present day Keyser, West Virginia). Colonel Schoonmaker was sick and hospitalized, so the 14th Pennsylvania Cavalry was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel William H. Blakeley. Majors Daily and Foley were also with the regiment, and Major Gibson led his independent command. Averell's Brigade for this raid consisted of his mounted regiments plus Gibson's Cavalry Battalion and Ewing's 6-gun battery. The purpose of the raid was to destroy portions of the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad. The 14th Pennsylvania Cavalry was armed with seven-shot carbines, Colt's navy revolvers, and sabers.


14th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment, Averell's raids in 1863, Salem raid
The regiment usually had the advance on the way to Salem, and often skirmished with bushwhackers or small groups of Confederate soldiers. After a total of eight days and moving over 200 miles (320 km) in rain and snow, Averell reached Salem on December 16. A portion of the cavalry entered the town with Averell and immediately cut the town's telegraph wires and sent out pickets. The remaining portion of the brigade then came in town and spent about six hours destroying supplies, the Salem train depot, railroad bridges, tracks, and culverts.


14th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment, Averell's raids in 1863, Salem raid
The short time spent in the target town was caused by the discovery that a train with Major General Fitzhugh Lee's Brigade of Cavalry was on its way to Salem. Averell announced to the local Confederate loyalists that he planned to attack the town of Buchanan next—a ruse designed to mislead pursuing Confederate forces. The return trip started in late afternoon with the 14th Pennsylvania Cavalry in the vanguard until they reached New Castle, where the regiment became the rear guard.


14th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment, Averell's raids in 1863, Salem raid
Passing through Fincastle on December 18, Averell learned that pursuing Confederates were in front and on the right, causing him to split his command and take obscure roads south of Covington toward a bridge across the Jackson River near Clifton Forge. While Averell's column was able to cross the bridge, the column led by Lieutenant Colonel Blakeley met resistance from troops commanded by Colonel Jackson on the evening of December 19. The front of the column, including Company A of the 14th Pennsylvania Cavalry and Blakeley, crossed the bridge.


14th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment, Averell's raids in 1863, Salem raid
The remaining portion of the regiment, four companies from the 3rd West Virginia Mounted Infantry, wagons, and ambulances were cut off from the bridge. Fighting continued all night, and Averell destroyed the bridge in the morning because he feared he could not prevent Jackson's men from crossing it. Any wagons and ambulances that had not crossed the bridge were set on fire. At that time, Confederate officers contacted the regiment's Major Foley demanding surrender. Foley refused, and men from the regiment began shouting "the 14th Pennsylvania Cavalry never surrenders".


14th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment, Averell's raids in 1863, Salem raid
A place about two miles (3.2 km) upriver was successfully used to ford the river, and the assumed-captured force caught up with Averell in the Allegheny Mountains. The brigade reached the safety of Beverly on December 25. Casualties for the regiment were six drowned, five wounded, and 25 captured in the attempted bridge crossing near Covington.


14th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment, Crook-Averell 1864 Raid on the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad
At the beginning of 1864, Averell's Brigade, including the 14th Pennsylvania Cavalry, had its winter quarters at Martinsburg, West Virginia. Cavalry in the Department of West Virginia was reorganized multiple times in early 1864. Averell was given command of the 2nd Cavalry Division, which included the 14th Pennsylvania Cavalry in a brigade commanded by Colonel Schoonmaker. Brigadier General Duffié commanded the other brigade. The 14th Pennsylvania Cavalry was commanded by Major John M. Daily. In mid-April, Averell's Division moved across West Virginia by railroad and joined Brigadier General George Crook in a raid on the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad. A salt mine was the target for Averell, while a railroad bridge was the target for Crook. Crook was the leader of the expedition and had a large infantry force of over 6,100 men. Separately, Averell had a small cavalry force of 2,079 men from his division.


14th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment, Crook-Averell 1864 Raid on the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad
Averell's first objective was to attack the salt mine in Saltville, Virginia that was located on the border between Virginia's Tazwell County and Smyth County. While in Tazwell County on May 8, Averell discovered that his route to Saltville was blocked by a large force of Confederate soldiers with artillery commanded by Brigadier General William "Grumble" Jones and Brigadier General John Hunt Morgan. He abandoned the attack on the salt mine, and proceeded east toward Wytheville and its lead mine, intending to join Crook.


14th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment, Crook-Averell 1864 Raid on the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad
Entering the northern part of Wythe County, Virginia, on May 10, Averell's cavalry fought the inconclusive Battle of Cove Mountain. Schoonmaker's Brigade started the fighting in the four-hour battle. Jones and Morgan had also moved east, and they successfully prevented Averell's cavalry from moving through Cove Gap to Wytheville. Union losses were 114 casualties. Averell escaped at night over the mountains using a different (and more difficult) route, and eventually destroyed 26 bridges and portions of railroad track between Christiansburg and the New River. On May 15, he finally linked with Crook, who had a major victory at the Battle of Cloyd's Mountain and destroyed the large bridge over the New River.


14th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment, Crook-Averell 1864 Raid on the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, Duncan's detachment
During the Crook-Averell Raid, a detachment of dismounted men from the regiment was left behind under the command of Captain Ashbel F. Duncan and Lieutenant Colonel Blakeley. The detachment was mounted and assigned to a brigade commanded by Colonel William B. Tibbits. The detachment was in the advance when the Battle of New Market started on May 15, and several men were killed and wounded—and most of the horses were killed. The detachment was remounted for the Battle of Piedmont on June 5 as part of an army newly commanded by Major General David Hunter. In the battle, Duncan's men made a dismounted charge into enemy earthworks, and took prisoners. On June 6, Hunter's army arrived at Staunton, Virginia, and Confederate supplies stored there were destroyed or distributed among the troops. Area workshops and factories were destroyed, and all railroad bridges and depots were destroyed.


14th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment, Hunter's attack on Lynchburg
Averell and Crook arrived in Staunton on June 8 as ordered by Hunter, and the 14th Pennsylvania Cavalry and its detachment were reunited. The cavalry was reorganized on June 9, with Duffié in command of the 1st Division and Averell in command of the 2nd Division. Schoonmaker, Oley, and Colonel William Powell commanded the three brigades of the 2nd Division, respectively. Schoonmaker's Brigade consisted of the 8th Ohio Cavalry Regiment and the 14th Pennsylvania Cavalry. Major Daily commanded the 14th Pennsylvania Cavalry.


14th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment, Hunter's attack on Lynchburg
Averell's Division arrived in Lexington on June 11 around noon, with the 14th Pennsylvania Cavalry in the advance. Schoonmaker's Brigade drove away Confederate troops, including cadets from the Virginia Military Institute (a.k.a. VMI), commanded by Brigadier General John McCausland. The town was extremely hostile, and Union soldiers were shot at from the direction of buildings belonging to VMI. Hunter ordered the buildings bombed and destroyed. He also relieved Schoonmaker from command because Schoonmaker did not burn VMI when he took the town.


14th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment, Hunter's attack on Lynchburg
On the next day, Hunter ordered Schoonmaker to proceed south with his brigade, and handed Schoonmaker a paper that said Hunter's treatment of Schoonmaker "had been under a misapprehension". Moving toward Lynchburg, the Averell's Division went to Buchanan, across the Blue Ridge Mountains, and arrived at Liberty on the morning of June 16. During that time, McCausland's troops were confronted by the regiment and driven away with the assistance of the whole brigade. Continuing through Liberty, Averell attacked McCausland and Imboden at New London around dusk, driving the Confederate force away.

At sunrise on June 17, Averell moved north by the old road from New London to Lynchburg, and skirmished with Confederate troops until they got four miles (6.4 km) from town and fighting became more intense. The battle began with Schoonmaker's Brigade arriving first and deploying on the left of the pike. Powell's and Oley's brigades arrived next. The cavalry fought dismounted until late in the afternoon, when it was replaced by infantry and artillery. Fighting continued on the next day with the cavalry back in front, although the Union forces were on the defensive instead of attacking.

At dark, the regiment was surprised to learn that Schoonmaker's and Powell's brigades were the only Union troops active in the field—all other troops and wagons had already begun to fall back. The 14th Pennsylvania Cavalry was therefore the first and last regiment in the Battle of Lynchburg. The retreat was made westward through Liberty, Bonsack, Salem, New Castle, Sweet Springs, Lewisburg, and finally Gauley Bridge. Averell's entire division fought for two hours near Liberty until its ammunition was exhausted, and then was relieved by Crook's infantry. Averell lost 122 men. The regiment's casualties from June 10 through June 23 totaled to 27. Losses for all divisions were 938.

In early July, the regiment left Charleston, West Virginia, and took a three-day train ride with their horses from Parkersburg to the rail station at Martinsburg. They were part of the 1st Brigade, 2nd Cavalry Division, Army of West Virginia. Schoonmaker was still the brigade commander, and Averell was still the division commander. Hunter was still commander of the Department of West Virginia, but Brigadier General Crook commanded the army in the field. Major Daily commanded the regiment.

While portions of the Union army were still arriving in the Martinsburg area, Averell was sent from Martinsburg toward Winchester to meet a perceived threat to the B&O Railroad from Major General Jubal Early's Army of the Valley. Averell's force, which included portions of his cavalry (including the 14th Pennsylvania Cavalry), began advancing south on the Valley Pike on July 19. On the morning of July 20, he moved further south—from Bunker Hill to about three miles (4.8 km) north of Winchester.

During the advance, he sent a detachment of 200 men from the 14th Pennsylvania Cavalry to the west side of Winchester, and the main body of the regiment was sent east to attack Berryville. Despite being outnumbered, Averell won the Battle of Rutherford's Farm against Confederate Major General Stephen Dodson Ramseur. The 14th Pennsylvania Cavalry did not participate in the fighting.
