The other was in the west, with George Rogers Clark and his spirited volunteers trying to hold off the British and their Native American allies.The story of George Rogers Clark is one of courage, bravery, and daring in the face of overwhelming odds. Often finding himself in what appeared to be a hopeless situation, Clark used skill and ingenuity to improvise his way to repeated victories. He was the fabled Long Knife, known far and wide not only for his brutality but also for his honesty and bravery. His victories played a key part in helping America win the War of Independence.

This book was released on 2020-01-20 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dual biography focuses on the lives of two very different men who fought for and settled the American West and whose vision secured the old Northwest Territory for the new nation. The two represented contrasting American experiences: famed military leader George Rogers Clark was from the Virginia planter class. William Croghan was an Irish immigrant with tight family ties to the British in America. Yet their lives would intersect in ways that would make independence and western settlement possible. The war experiences of Clark and Croghan epitomize the American course of the Revolution. Croghan fought in the Revolutionary War at Trenton and spent the winter of 1777–1778 at Valley Forge with George Washington and LaFayette before being taken prisoner at Charleston. Clark, known as the "Hannibal of the West," was famous for his victorious Illinois campaign against the British and as an Indian fighter. Following the war, Croghan became Clark's deputy surveyor of military lands for the Virginia State Line, enabling him to acquire some 54,000 acres on the edge of the American frontier. Croghan's marriage to Lucy Clark, George Rogers Clark's sister, solidified his position in society. Clark, however, was regularly called by Virginia and the federal government to secure peace in the Ohio River Valley, leading to his financial ruin and emotional decline. Croghan remained at Clark's side throughout it all, even as he prospered in the new world they had fought to create, while Clark languished. These men nevertheless worked and eventually lived together, bound by the familial connections they shared and a political ideology honed by the Revolution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Upon the eve of the Revolutionary war, the vast stretch of country northwest of the river Ohio--later divided into the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin-- was a part of the British Province of Quebec. As a result of Wolfe's victory on the Plains of Abraham, Great Britain had acquired it from France by the treaty of 1763. Like the French, the British ministry designed keeping the region as an enormous hunting-ground for the benefit of the Indians and the fur-traders. In adopting this policy, the government were influenced by three considerations; first, the enormous profits reaped by English merchants from the commerce of the forest; again, the apprehension that should colonial settlement spread beyond the Alleghanies, these merchants could not supply the people as easily as before, and colonial trad4e would be correspondingly hampered; third, the fear that if allowed to intrench themselves behind the mountain wall, American borderers might become bolder and more impudent than ever. Selfish and short-sighted, they endeavored arbitrarily to hem in their colonists to the Atlantic Slope, thus adding a fresh cause for colonial uneasiness, already assuming ominous proportions.
