"Much has been written about the famous conflicts and
battlegrounds of the East during the American Revolution. Perhaps
less familiar, but equally important and exciting, was the war on
the western frontier, where Ohio Valley settlers fought for the
land they had claimed -- and for their very lives. George Rogers
Clark stepped forward to organize the local militias into a united
front that would defend the western frontier from Indian attacks.
Clark was one of the few people who saw the importance of the West
in the war effort as a whole, and he persuaded Virginia's
government to lend support to his efforts. As a result Clark was
able to cross the Ohio, saving that part of the frontier from
further raids. Lowell Harrison captures the excitement of this
vital part of American history while giving a complete view of
George Rogers Clark's significant achievements. Lowell H. Harrison,
is a professor emeritus of history at Western Kentucky University
and is the author or co-author of numerous books, including Lincoln
of Kentucky, A New History of Kentucky, and Kentucky's
Governors."
