Seller's Description:
Very Good. A short tear at spine. George Rogers Clark (November 19, 1752-February 13, 1818) was an American military officer and surveyor from Virginia who became the highest-ranking Patriot military officer on the northwestern frontier during the Revolutionary War. He served as leader of the Virginia militia in Kentucky (then part of Virginia) throughout much of the war. He is best known for his captures of Kaskaskia in 1778 and Vincennes in 1779 during the Illinois campaign, which greatly weakened British influence in the Northwest Territory (then part of the British Province of Quebec) and earned Clark the nickname of "Conqueror of the Old Northwest". The British ceded the entire Northwest Territory to the United States in the 1783 Treaty of Paris. Contents include: Colonel Clark Organizes an Army, A Dark and Bloody Land, First Victory in the West, Perhaps We Might Be Fortunate, The March on Vincennes, Never Was a Man More Happy, The Fruits of Victory, Epilogue, The Northwest Country in the New Nation, Bibliography.
