The Black Hawk War Including a Review of Black Hawk's Life
The Black Hawk War, published in 1903, is Frank E. Stevens's detailed history of the conflict of 1832 in which the Sauk leader Black Hawk led his people back across the Mississippi into Illinois and was pursued by regulars and militia through Illinois and Wisconsin to the massacre at the Bad Axe River. Stevens, an Illinois lawyer, spent thirty years collecting documents, muster rolls, letters and interviews with survivors, and the book reviews Black Hawk's life and the treaties that dispossessed his people before following the campaign battle by battle. Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson Davis, Zachary Taylor and Albert Sidney Johnston all appear among the participants. The original carried some three hundred portraits and views; the text here stands alone.
