#651 - 2¢ George Rogers Clark: Plate Block

One of only 3 bicolored commemorative stamps issued in the 1920s, this commemorates the 150th anniversary of the surrender of Fort Sackville near British-controlled Vincennes, Indiana, to George Rogers Clark. Clark's victory was key to American forces gaining control of the Northwest Territory. Frederick C. Yohn's painting "Surrender at Fort Sackville" inspired the central design.
