Harmar, Josiah (1753-1813)

US soldier. He fought under George Washington (1778-80) and on the southern front (1781-83) during the American Revolution. From 1784-91 he headed the new nation's one-regiment military establishment. His 1790 expedition against the indigenous peoples of Ohio was a notable failure.
