Black Hawk, Sauk Indian Leader

Image taken from page 77 of "The History of Delaware County, Iowa, Containing a History of the County, Its Cities, Towns" published by Western Historical Company, 1878. Black Hawk (1767 - October 3, 1838) was a war leader and warrior of the Sauk Indians. During the War of 1812, Black Hawk had fought on the side of the British, hoping to push settlers away from Sauk territory. As a consequence of the 1804 treaty, the Sauk and Fox tribes had ceded their lands in Illinois and in 1828 removed west of the Mississippi. Black Hawk and other tribal members disputed the treaty. He led his "the British Band", against European-American settlers in the 1832 Black Hawk War. The band was composed of about 1,500 men, women, and children from the Sauk, Meskwaki, Fox, Kickapoo, Potawatomi, Ho-Chunk, and Ottawa nations; about 500 of that number were warriors. After the war, he was captured by the Army and taken to the eastern US. He and other war leaders were taken on tour of several cities. Black Hawk told his story to an interpreter; aided also by a newspaper reporter. The first Native American autobiography to be published in the US, his book became an immediate bestseller and has gone through several editions. He died in 1838 at age 70 or 71.
