Little-known history.(Letters To The Editor)(Letter to the Editor)
Although the article "Col. Clark and His 'Long Knives'" (December 1, 2003 issue) is interesting and informative, author Thomas Eddlem repeatedly refers to "Kentucky riflemen." The term is misleading: Clark was an officer of the Virginia militia, commanding Virginia troops. "Kentucky" was only a geographic term for a region of Virginia. The territory of Virginia, according to its royal charter, at that time, extended to the Mississippi River and north to the Canadian border.
One of the causes of the Revolution was the act of Parliament displacing the Canadian border down to the Ohio River, an action specifically referred to in the list of British provocations in the Declaration of Independence. When the Revolution occurred, Governor Patrick Henry of Virginia ordered Col. Clark to retake the territory which properly belonged to Virginia and, as Eddlem relates, that's exactly what Clark and his riflemen did.
