Even at the period of which I speak, events were hastening, which, resulting in a series of victories as brilliant as that at Quebec, were to wrest from England her colonial possessions. While the Revolutionary struggle was yet undetermined, General George Rogers Clark, by authority of Patrick Henry, Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia, with a few hundred brave men crossed the Ohio, and penetrating the wilderness to the Mississippi, captured the British forts at Cahokia and Kaskaskia. Woul...d time permit, it could but interest an Illinois audience to dwell upon the history of the privations and daring of the men who wrested from the British Crown this fair domain, and replaced the symbol of British authority with that of the great Commonwealth which projected the expedition. All honor to the mem- ory of the daring George Rogers Clark and his brave comrades, who on the 4th day of July, 1778, wrested this great territory from foreign domination, in the name of the Commonwealth which, six years later, by an act of generosity that has become historic, ceded it to the young Republic then struggling for existence among the nations.
