The Fall of Fort Sackville. At 10:00 AM on #ThisDayInHistory, three days after George Rogers Clark and his men surprised the British, Lt. Gov. Henry Hamilton's garrison of 79 men marched out of the fort. Clark's men raised the American flag over the fort and renamed it Fort Patrick Henry. #LivingHistory #LivingHistoryDays Illustration by F.

#Onthisday in 1779 the Siege of Fort Vincennes continued. George Rogers Clark had his men build an entrenchment 200 yards in front of the fort's gate. While men fired at the fort throughout the night, small squads crept up to within 30 yards of the walls to get a closer shot. The British fired their cannon, destroying a few houses in the city but doing little damage to the besiegers. Clark's men silenced the cannon by firing through the fort's portholes, killing and wounding some of the gunners. #Livinghistory #livinghistorydays
