Ephraim Blaine
Tiny Carlisle, with perhaps half a hundred males of fighting age, contributed no fewer than eight colonels or generals to the War of the Revolution. None of these, from Armstrong to Watts, made quite the contribution to victory that Ephraim Blaine did. As Commissary General, a post far removed from the glory of the combat arms, he gained the attention of Congress and of General George Washington and developed procedures that eventually became the precedents upon which the reorganization of the supply services were based.
