George Rogers Clark (November 19, 1752 - February 13, 1818) was a surveyor, soldier, and leader and the brother of William Clark (of the Lewis and Clark expedition). Clark participated in Lord Dunmore's War and gained recognition as an Indian fighter. Clark formed the Kentucky Militia to defend settlers from the Indian raids. At the age twenty- three, he was named captain of the militia and a delegate to the Virginia legislature. On June 26, 1778 Clark and one hundred seventy- five men traveled on the Ohio River to Kaskaskia. They surprised the fort at Kaskaskia on July 4, 1778, and they took the fort and town without firing a shot. On July 5, 1778 Clark captured Fort Cahokia from the British. On February 23, 1779 Clark's army entered Vincennes and surrounded the fort. On February 25, 1779 Hamilton surrendered and in 1783 and1784, he was named surveyor of the public lands for men who served in the Virginia in military forces.
