William Clark (August 1, 1770 - September 1, 1838) was a Scottish-American explorer who accompanied Meriwether Lewis on the Lewis and Clark Expedition. He was the youngest brother of Revolutionary War figure George Rogers Clark.\n\nBorn in Caroline County, Virginia, Clark moved with his family to Louisville, Kentucky in 1785. After his brother George joined the army, William Clark followed, and participated in several local militia campaigns. He was commissioned a lieutenant in the regular army in 1792, and was assigned to Anthony Wayne's Legion of the United States, where he served a four-year tour and participated in the Battle of Fallen Timbers. Also during this period, one of the men briefly under his command was Meriwether Lewis.\n\nClark left the army in 1796, spending time at his estate in Louisville and traveling from time to time. In 1803 he was asked by Lewis to share command of the newly-formed Corps of Discovery. Clark spent three years on the expedition, and although technically subordinate to Lewis in rank, tended to exercise equal authority. He concentrated chiefly on the drawing of maps and the identification of native flora and fauna, and after returning in 1806 spent a great deal of time consolidating the information collected.\n\nClark was appointed a brigadier general of the militia and made superintendent of Indian affairs in the Louisiana Territory in 1807. He set up his headquarters for this in St. Louis, Missouri. When the Missouri Territory was formed in 1813 Clark was appointed governor. During the War of 1812 he led several campaigns, and established the first post in what is now Wisconsin.\n\nAfter the war Clark returned to the administration of Indian affairs, employing various diplomatic and military measures in response to several uprisings in the area, such as the Black Hawk War. He also worked as a surveyor. His years as superintendent for Indian Affairs were very important. Clark's decisions on a daily basis as Indian Superintendent had an impact on individual lives far greater than his explorations. His region of influence in the 1830's was immense.

There was a minor engagement at Clarkstown in 1863 but I,ve never head of a Battle of Clark house. As for the Copperheads, they were Confederate sympethizers who took their name from snipping the head from a copper coin and wearing it as an emblem of their organisation. President Lincoln banished the whole lot to Canada. Where the Flat Top part of it comes in, i've no idea.

He was way ahead of his time. His use of the wah peddle was revolutionary and his mixing of amplifiers created totally different sounds.

He was brilliant, well educated and sought to constantly test his thinking... a rare (but very human) man.  Perhaps you should read some of the many, many books written on this Founding Father for more insight into the particulars of his life?

Lewis and Clark traveled over 8,000 miles in less than 2 1/2 years, losing only one member of their party, at a total cost to the taxpayer of $40,000.\n\nThe Importance Of The Expedition\nThe results and accomplishments of the Lewis and Clark expedition were extensive. It altered the imperial struggle for the control of North America, particularity in the Pacific northwest, by strengthening the U.S. claim to the areas now including the states of Oregon and Washington. Lewis and Clark achieved an impressive record of peaceful cooperation with the Indians and generated American interest in the fur trade. This had a far reaching effect, since it led to further exploration and commercial exploitation of the West. Lewis and Clark added to geographic knowledge by determining the true course of the Upper Missouri and its major tributaries, and producing important maps of these areas. They forever destroyed the dream of a Northwest Passage, but proved the success of overland travel to the Pacific. The expedition compiled the first general survey of life and material culture of the Native American tribes they encountered. \n\nLewis and Clark made significant additions to the zoological and botanical knowledge of the continent, providing the first scientific descriptions of many new species of animals, including the grizzly bear, prairie dog, pronghorn antelope, and mountain goat. They made the first attempt at a systematic record of the meteorology of the West, and less successfully attempted to determine the latitude and longitude of significant geographical points. \n\nLewis and Clark traveled over 8,000 miles in less than 2 1/2 years, losing only one member of their party, at a total cost to the taxpayer of $40,000. By any measure of scientific exploration, the Lewis and Clark expedition was phenomenally successful in terms of accomplishing its stated goals, expanding human knowledge, and spurring further curiosity and wonder about the vast American West.

It is impossible to answer this question as then they would be known facts and they don't qualify as a correct answer.\n\nBut if you are asking about not well known facts how about that he was big into real estate. He had tens of thousands of acres of land and had a voracious appetite for acquiring more.

Secretary of State William Seward. He made the Lousiana Purchase AND bought Alaska ... both of which were done without permission, which makes him a hero AND the greatest government thief in all history.

That should be, "Are there any contributions from George Washington?"  Then my next question would be, contributions to what?  To his country's independence?  To the office of President?  What?\n\nClearly, Washington contributed a great deal to the success of the Americans against the British.  By using unconventional tactics, he was able to leverage the few advantages the Americans had into military success.  As President, he set an example of putting statesmanship above politics that was followed by the best of his successors.
