In December, 177S, he considered it in connection with a grand invasion of Canada, then projected.^ In January, THE NORTHWEST IN THE REVOLUTION. 157 1779, when a Northwestern expedition, under General Mcin- tosh, was proposed, he said the best way to deal with the Ind- ians was to carry the war into their own country. In April of... the same year he inquired of Colonel Broadhead the best time to attempt a march to Detroit, and suggested the winter, be- cause the British would not then be able to use their naval force on Lake Erie. 1 Naturally, Clark's achievement, since it made the reduction of the post seem more feasible, led to more serious consideration of the subject.

More than once a force seemed almost on the point of starting.
