A native of Virginia, George Rogers Clark migrated to Kentucky in 1772 and helpd establish the area on the Ohio River that would eventually become Louisville, Kentucky and Clarksville, Indiana. During the Revolutionary War Clark was able to gathered intelligence as to the British role of Sponsoring the Indian Attacks in the Ohio Valley. Clark also was successful in defending the northwest area (Indiana, Illinois and Southern Michigan) and securing this land for the United States.
