Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seventy-Fifth Anniversary History of the First Baptist Church, Urbana, Illinois, Organized September 21, 1838: Diamond Jubilee Week, September 21-28, 1913 Greed for gold, led the Spanish to discover, and religious enthusiasm led the French to settle the Mississippi valley. George Rogers Clark went to Virginia, and presented plans for the occupancy of Illinois by Americans, to Patrick Henry, Governor of the state. Illinois was then under the jurisdiction of Virginia. Clark receiv ed his instructions in January, 1778, and in February set out for Pittsburgh. He gathered four companies of men, and captured Kaskaskia without shed ding a drop of blood. This signal vic tory owed its bloodless triumph to the fact that the people of Illinois County had a wholesome dread of the Virgin ians, whom they called long knives.
