Attorney by the Illinois Legislature January, 1823. Elected State Senator, 1830 and in 1832. Elected to Congress 1836. Elected State Senator and Presidential Elector 1840. Nominated for Governor by Democratic convention, Dec. 11, 1841. Died in Belleville of consumption May 14, 1842, before election. He would have been elected. Gov. Ford, the candidate selected in his place, was elected.

171.  The prints of the day have the name George Eames, but correspondence with Hiram B. Hunt and N.B. Craig, relatives, indicates that Charles is correct.

173.  A very spirited account of this battle, signed “Flack,” appears in Wakefield’s History, minutely detailing the actions of the Indians.

174.  It has been said that this fort was named after Col. James Johnson, of the Fifth Regiment, but the burden of authority is in favor of A.S. Johnston.

176.  Captain Harrison Wilson, in the war of 1812, was an ensign in Captain James Craig’s company of frontier riflemen. Fourth Regiment. His father, Alexander, was a member of the first Legislature of Illinois Territory, and drafted with his own hand the first code of English-speaking law for that territory. Gen. James H. Wilson, of Wilmington, Del., who represented the U.S. Army at King Edward’s coronation, and Col. Bluford Wilson, of Springfield, Ill., late Solicitor of the U.S. Treasury, are sons of Capt. Harrison Wilson, who died in 1853. He fought by the side of Jefferson Davis against Black Hawk at the battle of the Bad Axe, while his son, Gen. James H. Wilson, captured the President of the Southern Confederacy in the Civil War. Another coincidence must be noticed: Maj.-Gen. John A. McClernand was a private in Capt. Harrison Wilson’s company, and during the recent war with Spain Lt.-Col. Edward J. McClernand, son of Gen. McClernand, was adjutant to Gen. J.H. Wilson while the latter occupied Cuba.

177.  Later Lieut.-Governor.

178.  Then Lieut.-Governor.

179.  By Col. Smith’s report, in my possession, he certified that his brigade was furnished from June 21 to July 10, by U.S. Government, with six baggage wagons; from July 10 to July 26 with four wagons, and from the 26th to Aug. 14 with three pack horses. The wagons were each drawn by two horses, and on an average drew 500 pounds. Distance traveled, 1,200 miles.

180.  Selected June 5, according to Wakefield.

181.  Then Secretary of State.

182.  Henry S. Riggs, a private in Gillham’s company, who still lives at Lynnville, in Morgan County, has given the march of his company and of Capt. Gordon’s as follows: “We first met at a farm near Exeter, and encamped the first night on the bank of the Mauvaisterre, northeast of Jacksonville. We then marched in a northeasterly direction and forded the Sangamon River near Petersburg. The journey across country to the vicinity of Ottawa, and later Rock Island, occupied a week, and a detachment of one company was left at Ft. Wilbourn. At this point there were, besides the whites, a good many friendly Indians who needed or desired our protection. I was one of those left on guard at the fort, so did not take part in any of the skirmishes with the Indians. Black Hawk and his braves were so far outnumbered that they knew the folly of continued resistance, but in the final struggle seventeen whites were killed and the Indian loss was heavy. Peace was finally declared, and when the volunteers returned to their homes they had been in the service just 104 days. For this campaign each man furnished his own horse and weapon and the greater part of his ammunition.”

183.  Wakefield, p. 31, is authority for the statement that the regiment reached Beardstown June 3, elected officers, and that T.W. Smith was made a staff officer June 5, and that the march was taken up on the 6th for Ft. Wilbourn, where Maj. (Rev.) Horn had stored provisions.

200.  Dement’s grievance began when, after his battle and the resumption of the march for Fort Hamilton, Posey encountered fresh trails on the first day out and, instead of following them to a possible fight, returned to Kellogg’s and there camped until the next day, to “await the baggage wagons,” as claimed by Wakefield on p. 39. Dement charged this as an act of cowardice.

201.  During this march White Crow offered to conduct Posey and Dodge with a few followers to Black Hawk’s camp which was singularly strong, and had the officers gone, certain death had followed. This conclusively proved that White Cloud designedly sought to have the party annihilated.

Black Hawk, The Prophet, two sons and nine braves were taken to Jefferson Barracks to remain as hostages. On the preceding Thursday Ne-a-pope and six or seven warriors were taken there by Lt. Cross and five men under his command.
