CONQUEST OF THE NORTHWEST
1t Was Acquired from the British by
Force of Arms

1t Was Acquired from the British by
Force OF Arms
In l776. when independence was de-
clared, the United States included only
lie thirteen original states on the sea-
board. With the exception OF few
1unters, 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, In
diana, Ohio. Michigan. and Wisconsin.
Al this region north of the Ohio river
then formed n part OF the Province of
Quebec. 1t was a wilderness OF forests
and prairies. teeming with game, ana
Inhabited by many warlike tribes Of In
dams. Here and there through It were
dotted quaint little towns OF French
Creoles, the most important being De-
troit, Vincennes on the Wabash, and
Kaskaskia and Kahokia on the Illinois.
These French villages were ruled by
British officers commanding small bod
les OF regular soldiers or Tory rangers
and Creole partlsans. The towns were
completely in the power of the Brit
lsh government; none of the American
states had actual possession of a foot
Of property in the northwestern terri
tory. The northwest was acquired at
the time OF the revolution only by armed
conquest, and II II had not been so ac-
quired, ii would have remained a part
Of the British Dominion Of Canada. The
man to whom this conquest was due
was a famous backwoods leader, a
mighty hunter noted Indian fighter
George Rogers Clark. He 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 baclwoods sur
veyor. exactly as Washington and so
many other young Vlrginians OF spirit
did at that period. He Travelled out to
Kentucky soon after II was opened UP
by Boone, and lived there for a year.
either at the stations or camping by
himself In the woods, surveying, hunt
ing and making war against the In
dams like any other settler; hut alb the
time his mind was bent on vaster
schemes than were dreamed Of by the
men around him. lie had his spies out
in the northwestern territory, and be-
came convinced that with a small force
Of resolute Lakewood men he could con-
quer IL for the United States. When
he went back TO Virginia Gov. Patrick
Henry entered heartily into Clarks
schemes and gave him authority to at
out a force for his purpose.
