George Rogers Clark follows the Virginia officer whose western campaigns expanded revolutionary warfare into the Illinois Country. It traces his capture of Kaskaskia and Cahokia, his winter march to Vincennes and his defeat of the British commander Henry Hamilton.
The biography places these exploits within a contested borderland inhabited by Native nations, French-speaking communities, British forces and American settlers. It also examines Clark’s later financial difficulties and the gap between his celebrated reputation and the uncertain legal and political results of his campaigns.
