| Summary | "Military Roads of the Mississippi Basin" by Archer Butler Hulbert is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the military expeditions in the Mississippi Basin, particularly those led by George Rogers Clark during the late 18th century. It examines the routes taken during these campaigns against the British and Native American resistance, detailing the geographical and strategic considerations involved in these historic military undertakings. The beginning of the work introduces the preface, setting up the context for Clark's campaigns and emphasizing the significance of the routes traversed during these military operations. It discusses the importance of the Old Vincennes Trace and the various paths taken across the challenging landscapes of Illinois, which included swamps and prairies. The narrative paints a vivid picture of the arduous journey faced by Clark and his men as they marched toward Kaskaskia, and the challenges they overcame, highlighting their determination and the historical implications of their conquests in the context of the broader struggle for control of the Old Northwest.
