THE GEORGE ROGERS CLARK MEMORIAL
in Vincennes commemorates the winning of the old
Northwest by Col. Clark and his frontiersmen in
the war of the American Revolution. Clark and
his little heroic army composed of about 170 men
captured old Ft. Sackville here and caused the
British to surrender the morning of Feb-
ruary 25, 1779, more than two and a half years
prior to the surrender of Cornwallis to George
Washington at Yorktown. The memorial was erected
by the federal government and with the land sur-
rounding involves an expenditure of over $2,500.000.
Clark's achievement opened the way west to the
Pacific.
