The energetic particles in cosmic rays are a major part of the dynamics of our Galaxy. These particles have a variation of intensity with energy which falls as a power law with almost constant spectral index over at least ten decades in energy. The increase in spectral slope near energies of 10^15 eV is described as the "knee" of the spectrum - although the change in slope is in actuality not very large. At energies significantly below the "knee" detailed measurements of cosmic ray elemental and isotopic composition have been made which give us some of the few hard facts we know about these particles. This talk will examine how the existing paradigm which fits these facts can be extended into the "knee" energy region. A comparison will be made between this extension and new, indirect, measurements of cosmic ray composition at these energies.
