George Rogers Clark National Historical Park IN

An almost forgotten hero of the revolutionary war.  Actually without this park and the support of the Vincennes community, he might be.  I surely knew little of the war in colonial “west” which Clark and his band of less than 200 won on sheer nerve and determination.  Basically, actions led by Clark assured the US claim to territories that became Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan.  Also, George is the elder brother of William Clark of the Lewis & Clark Expedition.
