The Conquest Of the Northwest.

In 1176, when independence was de
clared, the United States included only the
thirteen original states on the seaboard
With the exception of a few hunters, there
were no white men west of the Allegheny
mountains, and there was not even an
American hunter in the great country out
OF which we have since made the states of
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and Wis
consin. All this region north of the Ohio
river then formed a part of the Province of
Quebec. 1t was wilderness of forests and
prairies, teemng with game, and inhabited
by many warike tribes of Indians.
Here and there through it were dotted
quaint little towns of French Creoes, the
most important being Detroit, Nncennes
on the Wabash, and Kaskaska and Kah-
okla on the Illinois. These French viii
lagos were ruled by British officers com
handing small bodies of regular soldiers
or Tory rangers and Creole partisans. The
towns were completely in the power of the
British government; none of the Ameri-
can states had actual possession of foot
of property in the Northwest territory.
The Northwest was acquired at the time
of the Revolution only by armed conquest,
and if it had not been so acquired, it would
have remained a part of the British Do
minion Of Canada.
The man to whom this conquest was
due was a famous backwoods leader, a
mighty hunter, a noted Indian fighter
| George Rogers Clark. lie was a very
strong man, with light hair and blue eyes,
of a good Virginian family, who, early in
his youth, embarked on the adventurous
career of a backwoods surveyor, exactly as
Washington and 50 many other young Vir-
| glnans of spirit did at that period. He
travelled out to Kentucky soon after it was
| opened up by Boone and lived there for a
| year either at the stations or camping by
| himself in the woods, surveying, hunting,
and making war against the Indians like
any other settler; but all the time his mind
was bent on vaster schemes than were
| dreamed of by the men about him. He
had his spies out in the Northwestern ter
! ritory, and became convinced that with a
small force of rcsolute backwoodsm he
could conquer it for the United States.
! When he went back to Virginia, Gov.
Patrick Henry entered heartily into Clark S
schemes and gave him authority to fit out a
force for his purpose Theodore RooSc-
