Introduction: Among all the romantic episodes of the war of the American Revolution, that of George Rogers Clark and his band of sturdy men from Virginia and Kentucky, stands among the foremost. That two hundred men should overrun a hostile territory larger than France, and hold it for three years, and at the end see it brought under the American flag, reads like a knightly tale of ancient times. That the thrilling story of the conquest of the Northwest Territory shall bring a deeper appreciation of the pioneer who carved an empire out of a wilderness, is the great hope of the author.
