A dramatic historical narrative

The latest in the "Young Patriots" series of young adult novels, George Rogers Clark: Boy Of The Northwest Frontier by Katharine E. Wilie is a dramatic historical narrative of the childhood of George Rogers Clark, who would grow up to be a Revolutionary War general and famous explorer, as well as an inspiration for his younger brother William who would one day lead the Lewis & Clark expedition. Cathy Morrison's black-and-white illustrations bring this adventurous narrative to life; a tale that captures the imagination and introduces young people to American history through the eyes of those who grew up in the midst of critical events.
