Entry 11~ July 1779


A guy named George Clark has attacked Kaskaskia in the mountains and they surrendered. The Patriots also took Cahokia. They surprise attacked Fort Sackville and marched through ice cold water for 18 days. They surrendered to us and this was called the War in the West. We have also gotten another ally, Spain, that is helping supply us.
