US Senator William Hall
Well it looks now like Senator Hall, the Congressional delegation from Delaware, and some "prominent citizens" prevailed upon Secretary of War Edwin Stanton to commission HCR as a Major in the Regular Army. Stanton instead commissioned him as a Captain and sent him back to his old unit, the 1st U.S. Infantry. Why would he send him back to where he had so much obvious trouble?
