  • Full Transcript of George Roger Clark's Letter to George Mason
    Letter from George Rogers Clark to George Mason, November 19, 1779 Letter from General George Roger to His Friend and Patron George Mason of Gunston Hall, Virginia Louisville, Falls of Ohio, Nov. 19, 1779 My Dear Sir: Continue to favor me with your valuable lessons---continue your reprimands as though I was your son---when suspicious, think not that promotion, or conferred honor, will occasion any unnecessary pride in me. You have infused too many of your valuable precepts in me to be guilty of the like, or to show any indifference to those that ought to be dear to me. It is with pleasure that I obey in transmitting to you a short sketch of my enterprise and proceeding in the Illinois, as near as I can recollect, or gather from memorandums. After disengaging myself from Kentucky I set out for Williamsburg in August, 1777, in order to settle my accounts. I had just reasons, known to few but myself, that occasioned me to resolve not to have any further command whatever, without I should find a very great call for troops and my country in danger; in such case I was determined to lose my life rather (than) we should submit. On my arrival, I found, to appearance, a friend in many gentlemen of note; that offered their interest to me in case I should offer at any post. Many (were) surprised that I would not solicit for some berth. I must confess that I think myself often to blame for not making use of interest for my promotion, but to merit it first is such a fixed principle with me that I never could, and I hope never shall, ask for a post of honor, as I think the public ought to be the best judge whether a person deserves it or not; if he did he would certainly be rewarded according to the virtue they had.

The Falls at the Ohio River between what is now Louisville and Clarksville made a rapid descent over a series of ledges formed by Devonian rock rich in fossils. In high stages of water, the falls disappeared completely. During low water times, the whole width of the river had the appearance of a series of waterfalls with great flats of rock beds. There is now a state park in the location where the buffalo and the historic trace crossed from Kentucky into Indiana. This site is open to the public.

Photo courtesy of Indiana Historical Society, M0367. Fort Finney was constructed in 1786. Captain Walter Finney oversaw construction of a square earth and timber work with blockhouses near present-day Fort Street in Jeffersonville. The post was garrisoned by US troops until 1793 but then remained a militia station until about 1800. It was renamed Fort Steuben in 1787 after Baron Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben, Revolutionary War hero. It was a magnet for settlers, who formed a village immediately around it and were the first residents of the town of Jeffersonville. A historic marker is all that exists at this site.
