The Life Of George Rogers Clark - Paperback

by James Alton James (Author)

The Life of George Rogers Clark is a comprehensive biography of the American Revolutionary War hero and explorer, George Rogers Clark. Written by James Alton James, the book explores Clark's life from his birth in Virginia in 1752 to his death in Kentucky in 1818. Clark is best known for his leadership in the western campaigns of the Revolutionary War, particularly his capture of the British forts at Kaskaskia and Vincennes in 1778-1779. James provides a detailed account of these campaigns, as well as Clark's later efforts to secure the Illinois country for the United States. In addition to his military exploits, the book delves into Clark's personal life, including his relationships with family members, friends, and political figures of the time. James also explores Clark's role in the early settlement of Kentucky and his efforts to establish a stable government in the region. Overall, The Life of George Rogers Clark provides a fascinating portrait of one of America's lesser-known founding fathers and his contributions to the nation's early history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
