he was more of a thinker, i think, then moses hazen was, quite frankly. i see hazen as the pugilist. he was always rather irritating as an individual, from what i can see. i think it's commanding officers saw him as that. certainly, general knocks at the end of it said that this was a man who was blessed with one of the most obstinate tempers he had ever seen. but it was a kind of temper that meant this regiment continued in action through the rest of the war. but given, this it starts going out for recruiting for congress's own, so you can see what's going on here. you can't recruit for second canadian among all of them but you can for congress's own guard. here, it's got elite status. this is really good, this is better than simply the first pennsylvania. really? the first virginia? why not congress's own. and they did tremendously well. this regiment was authorized 1000 man. so, much bigger than the common continental infantry regiment. but, it was authorized 1000 and by the spring of 77 it was hitting close to 900 men who had enlisted in this regiment.
