How George Rogers Clark, Won the Northwest: And Other Essays in Western History (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from How George Rogers Clark, Won the Northwest: And Other Essays in Western History
HE majority of the eight papers contained in this volume were first delivered as lectures; and later, in a modified form, were printed either in popular magazines or in the Wisconsin Historical Collections. For the present publication they have been radically revised and brought down to date - indeed, some of them, especially the opening article, have been entirely rewritten and bear small resemblance to the originals. Owing to the different occasions for which they were pref pared, there is lacking a uniformity of treat ment; it is hoped, however, that this variety of form, as well as the somewhat wide range of topics, may be found acceptable.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the Revolutionary War in the American West, focusing on George Rogers Clark's heroic campaign to conquer the British outposts in the region stretching from Illinois to Kentucky. Despite skepticism from his men and being greatly outnumbered, Clark used his cunning and diplomacy to form alliances with the French settlers and Native American tribes, turning the tide against the British. The author delves into Clark's leadership, the challenges he faced, and the strategies he used to secure the Northwest Territory for the newly formed United States, making this book an essential read for anyone interested in the often-overlooked Western front of the American Revolution.
