	Peleg Wadsworth Remembered (KingstonObserver.com)
		Peleg is credited by historians as being the only bright light in a dark chapter of American history because he was the only officer in command to keep his wits about him as he organized and lead a successful retreat back to Boston of surviving scattered American forces.
		In March of 1780, General Peleg Wadsworth was given command of all the troops raised for the defense of the Province of Maine which at that time was still a part of Massachusetts.
		At the war's end in 1784 Peleg moved to Portland, Maine (then a district of Massachusetts) and was elected to the Massachusetts state senate in 1792.
