Hazen of Fame?

[RangerCharlie]

I wonder if RangerHazen comes from the lineage of Capt. William Hazen of the Union Army, Indiana Infantry?
He is pretty old, so maybe it's his grandfather.

William Hazen
We Hazens have had every generation serve in the US military since we came over in the early 1800's. My sister and aunt are the demographers in the family.According to what we can find out one branch of my family has served in the British Armed Forces for that long as well.

Come to think of it... I am fairly sure I had a great great uncle IRA Hazen who was in the Union Calvery during the Civil war. I will check with sis.

Civil War Times has an article on Ambrose Bierce who followed his commander, by the end of the war, a Lt general, Willam B. Hazen. Ambrose labeled Hazen as "my master in the art of war". I'm sure this carried over to the current generation as Ranger Hazen is a master of the arts.
Hazen commanded the 9th Indiana Infantry.

"Why have you halted?" roared the commander of a division at Chickamauga, who had ordered a charge; "move forward, sir, at once."

"General," said the commander of the delinquent brigade, "I am persuaded that any further display of valor by my troops will bring them into collision with the enemy."
