SUMMARY:Lecture—The American Revolution in the Old Northwest
DESCRIPTION:The American Revolution in the West is often neglected from the overall history of the conflict\, though it had a significant impact on how it was conducted. Larry Nelson\, assistant professor of history at Bowling Green State University\, discusses this important component of the war by examining American ambitions in the Old Northwest\, the vast uncharted region north and west of the Ohio River; the political goals of the Continental Congress within that region; and the role of Virginia militia leader George Rogers Clark in bringing those aims to fruition. \nRegistration is requested. To attend the lecture in-person at Anderson House\, or to watch virtually\, please use the appropriate link below. \nRegister to Attend the Lecture at Anderson House \nRegister to Attend the Lecture Virtually \nAbout the Speaker\nLarry Nelson holds a Ph.D. in American history from Bowling Green State University.
