Explorer and Revolutionary
War hero, General George Rogers Clark effectively doubled the
size of the United States by his defeat of the British at Vincennes.
He is also known for being the older brother of William Clark,
one half of the legendary Lewis and Clark Expedition.
But did you know
that in 1783, Thomas Jefferson asked George Rogers Clark if
he would be willing to head an expedition to explore the land
west of the Mississippi? Clark declined, and 20 years later
Jefferson asked the same question of Clark's younger brother
William. William accepted and the Lewis and Clark expedition
was born.
