Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Col. George Rogers Clark's Sketch of His Campaign in the Illinois in 1778-79
HE letter here printed for the first time, was presented to the Historical Society of Ken tucky by Hon. George Mason, of Gunston Hall, Virginia, to whom it was addressed. We are in debted to Hon. Henry Pirtle, of Louisville, for the privilege of incorporating it in our series, and also for the Introduction. We have endeavored to follow the manuscript as closely as was possible in print, adding only a word here and there (in italics), which seemed necessary to complete the sense. To have mod ernized it would have required so many altera tions, that we thought it unadvisable to make the attempt. A few notes have been added which may be of some use or interest to the reader.
