Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book begins by following George Rogers Clark, a surveyor and militia leader in colonial Virginia, who leads an expedition in 1778 to capture British-held outposts in the Northwest Territory, a region that includes Kentucky and Illinois. Clark's campaign is a success and helps secure the western frontier for the newly formed United States. The author uses Clark's story to explore the broader themes of westward expansion, the struggle for control of the continent between the British, French, Spanish, and Native Americans, and the role of ordinary people in shaping the course of history. The book is meticulously researched and provides a wealth of detail about the people, places, and events of this critical period in American history. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the American Revolution, the settlement of the West, or the life and times of George Rogers Clark.
