    Interesting back story on this. If you are a student of history, and forgot all about the French and Indian War.

    The British flag would not be raised above Fort Sackville on the morning of February 25, 1779. British Lieutenant-Governor Henry Hamilton and his garrison marched out of the fort at 10 a.m. and surrendered to American Colonel George Rogers Clark.

    The British dominated a large portion of the Trans-Appalachian frontier after the French and Indian War. The Proclamation of 1763 forbid the settlement of lands west of the Appalachian Mountains. From their posts north of the Ohio River, the British sent Indian war parties against those settlers who ignored the proclamation line, including those in Kentucky.

    He is one of the frontiersmen of Lieutenant Colonel George Rogers Clark.
    The coin design features George Rogers Clark leading his men through the flooded plains approaching Fort Sackville.

    @rooksmith
    @AUandAG beat me to it :)
    On reverse side of the coin, the design shows a loon wading in the waters at Voyageurs National Park. Voyageurs National Park is located in northern Minnesota.
