The Black Hawk War Including a Review of Black Hawk's Life

Minor errors or inconsistencies in punctuation and formatting have been silently corrected. Please see the transcriber’s note at the end of this text for details regarding the handling of any other textual issues encountered during its preparation.

Footnotes have been resequenced to be unique, and were moved to the end of the text. Hyperlinks are provided for ease of reference. Any references to those notes in the text have been amended as well. In the Topical Index, references to cited authors which appear only in the footnotes on the given pages are linked directly to the notes.

The illustrations have been moved to avoid falling within paragraphs. There are several maps (just prior to the Introduction, at p. 182 and at p. 216) which are linked to full size versions and can be viewed simply by clicking on the image.

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.
