The First Battalion was commanded at the Battle of Antietam by Captain W. Harvey Brown, the Second Battaltion by Captain David B. McKibbon.

From the first of three War Department markers on the Antietam battlefield:

At 3 P.M. of the 17th the First Battalion, Fourteenth U.S. Infantry crossed the Antietam at the Middle Bridge and advanced on the Boonsboro Pike until it reached the point where the Bloody Lane enters the Pike (200 yards east of this), where the Battalion was posted on the left (south) of the Pike as a reserve to the 4th U.S. Infantry.

At dusk Companies F and G deployed as skirmishers, advanced to this lane, formed on the right of the Second and Tenth U.S. Infantry, and engaged the Confederate skirmishers in the edge of the cornfield in front.

The Battalion was withdrawn at dark and recrossed the Antietam.

From the second marker:

At 3 P.M. the First Battalion, Fourteenth U. S. Infantry, crossed the Antietam at the Middle Bridge, advanced on this road to this point and formed on the hill and in the ravine south of this tablet, the right of the Battalion resting on this road. At dusk, Companies F and G, deployed as skirmishers, advanced about 200 yards to Sherrick’s Lane, formed on the right of the Second and Tenth U.S. Infantry, and engaged the enemy.

The Battalion was withdrawn at dark and recrossed the Antietam.

From the third marker:

On September 16, the Second Battalion, Fourteenth U.S. Infantry was in line on the east base of the ridge beyond the Antietam, in which position it remained until about 1 P.M. of the 17th when it crossed the Middle Bridge to support the Horse Batteries.

Late in the afternoon it advanced beyond the Batteries, moving in echelon on the right of the Fourth U.S. Infantry, and occupied this line covering Piper’s Lane and its approaches on the right with skirmishers thrown forward to the crest of the hill to the west.

It was withdrawn, about sunset, and recrossed the Antietam, where it remained in its original position until the morning of the 19th.
