The conquest of the Illinois by George Rogers Clark( )

17 editions published between 1920 and 2018 in English and held by 2,006 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Most of us think of the American Revolutionary War as being fought only in the Colonies stretched along the Atlantic seaboard. But the region between the Ohio River and the Great Lakes, the Alleghenies and the Mississippi later known as the Old Northwest, figured quite prominently. A frontiersman, George Rogers Clark, carried out a campaign of conquest in the Illinois country that for enterprise, daring and determination is equal to any in our history. His feat was chiefly responsible for giving this area to the Colonies, rather than to Canada, under the Treaty of Paris in 1783
