One of the most respected personages in Native American history,
BLACK HAWK (1767-1838), Sauk war chief of the Native American tribe
in Illinois, was already a renowned name in the early 1800s, having
fought for the British during the War of 1812. By 1832, when Black
Hawk led warriors against encroaching European settlers on Sauk
lands, he was so well-known that the engagement became known as the
Black Hawk War. In his 1833 autobiography, Black Hawk-dictating to
American newspaper editor JOHN BARTON PATTERSON (1805-1890)-tells
his tale, from the "Indian wars" as he saw them to his capture, in
1832, by American forces and his subsequent meeting with President
Andrew Jackson and grand tour of the United States. A provocative
look at Black Hawk's wisdom and, ironically, his misunderstanding
of the politics of the United States, this is a fascinating
firsthand account of one of the foundational philosophical battles
of American history.
