	George Rogers Clark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Clark was one of the great American military heroes—hailed as the conqueror of the Northwest Territory at the apex of his fame—but 21st century school textbooks allocate little or no space to him.
		Clark's ultimate goal during the Revolutionary War was to seize the British stronghold of Fort Detroit and claim all lands west of the Appalachians for the American Revolutionaries (or perhaps for Virginia), but he could never recruit enough men to make the attempt.
		Clark was left with a small plot of land in Clarksville, containing a small gristmill which he worked with two African-American "servants." In the humble standing of a miller Clark lived for two decades.
