Biographical Note
Francis Vigo was born in the kingdom of Sardinia in 1740. He resided in the Spanish port of St. Louis where he was active in trading with the Indians until 1781, when he moved to Vincennes, Indiana. He was arrested by the British as a spy because of his sympathies to George Rogers Clark and the Americans. Vigo gave large sums of money to feed and clothe Clark's army.
