Fort Sackville was captured from the British by George Rogers Clark on February 25, 1779.
From the National Park Service: "The British flag would not be raised above Fort Sackville Feb. 25, 1779."
History is constantly in the making; the task of the chronicler, confronted with the ever increasing bulk of material, becomes one of abbreviation and elimination. How few names, how few periods, how few events, go to make up what the world ultimately sees fit to keep at the finger-tips of memory. (MI Pioneer and Historical Collections, 1907). An effort to catch bits & pieces of history slipping from the "finger-tips of memory."
