George Rogers Clark

My name is Clark, and I have come out to see what you brave fellows are doing in Kentucky and to lend you a helping hand, if necessary.

I carry in my right hand war, and peace in my left... Here is a bloody belt and a white one. Take which you please.

I have given the United States half the territory they possess, and for them to suffer me to remain in poverty, in consequence of it, will not redound much to their honor hereafter.

Never was a person more mortified than I was at this time, to see so fair an opportunity to push a victory; Detroit lost for want of a few men.

Great things have been effected by a few men well conducted.

If a country were not worth protecting, it was not worth claiming.
