A Mighty Gift to the Nation.
And all this was the gift OF George
Rogers Clark.
In 1878. about the time Of the Sara
toga convention. Clark conceived the
idea OF winning and holdinS the grea.
region northwest OF the Ohio, and
with characteristic energy proceeded
10 make the idea good.
Laying the matter before Patrick
Henry. Jefferson, Madison and . few
others. and getting their approval OF
the plan proposed. Clark raised a lit
tie army OF some two hundred, AMI
fifty men and started out on his mem
orable expedition.
The campaign terminating In the
capture OF Vincennes MADE his bold
/ dream a reality. and the Illinois coun
TRY was In possession OF the united
colonies.
! The capture OF Vincennes was one
of the most notable and heroic
achievements in American history
Clark had conducted a forced march
OF about two hundred ana thirty
miles. through almost unhcard-of diff
ficulties. With a small party U3i
mem. he captured, in the heart OF l.,
strange and hostile country, without
the aid OF artillery, a heavy stock
ade mounted by cannons ana swivel.
and manned by a trained garrison
more than double the size OF his owl
force.
The work was done quickly ant
thoroughly, and the northwest wa!

peace. the supreme Importance o.
Clark's work doomed up large. Franco
