The Legacy of George Rogers Clark

Simply based on results, George Rogers Clark was the most successful American field commander of the American Revolution. He never lost a battle or failed to accomplish whatever military mission he started. No other American commander can make that claim, not Washington or Arnold or Greene. Sadly, following the war, as disappointment built on disappointment, Clark turned from the country he had fought so hard to defend, and offered his services to both Spain and Revolutionary France. Nothing ever came of these intrigues, but they forever sullied Clark’s reputation, the commodity upon which he placed the most value. Tom Hand, creator and publisher of Americana Corner, explores the legacy of George Rogers Clark, and why it still matters today.
