The War in the West
October 02, 2025
In the late 1800s, George Rogers Clark became a symbol of the Revolutionary War in the heartlands. Lionized as “The Conqueror of the Northwest”, Clark’s victory at the Siege of Vincennes isn’t quite as it seems. The war in the west was no grand effort in the founding of a nation, but a war over valuable land fought between the British, the Americans, and Native tribes who called that land home.
