About the Author
Holly Mayer is professor emeritus at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Holly’s PhD is from the College of William and Mary. Her research field is late-eighteenth-century America, and she is especially interested in civil-military relations during the War for Independence and the evolution of American character and culture. Her monograph, Belonging to the Army: Camp Followers and Community during the American Revolution (1996), is a path-breaking study of the Continental Army as a community. Her new book, Congress's Own: A Canadian Regiment, the Continental Army, and American Union (2021), chronicles Colonel Moses Hazen’s 2nd Canadian Regiment.
