About This Book

A narrative history and biographical study recounts Black Hawk’s life and the frontier war linked to him, tracing his personal background, military actions, and relations with neighboring peoples and American authorities. The author assembles eyewitness testimony, letters, muster rolls, treaties, and official reports to reconstruct councils, skirmishes, and campaigns and to present chapter-by-chapter accounts of key engagements and diplomatic exchanges. Treaty controversies and militia mobilizations are placed within a chronological framework that also covers settler and warrior experiences. The volume includes maps, numerous portraits, transcribed documents, and an introduction describing research methods and the archival and interview sources used.

Dear Mother–

This book represents long years of patient toil from which a corresponding return is not expected; it has been a labor of love. To whom, then, should it be dedicated but yourself, who spent so many toilsome years to rear its author, who may never repay a fraction of the debt he owes you.
