directly or indirectly by strong influences of civilization, undertaken to
gut In detail his personal and tribal history, with the views and customs
of bis race on ethics, religion and politics. This vivid revelation of the
m; stericus Indian characters is no less charming than uni'j-e.
Black Hawk was born and lived for more than 60 years ;:i Hock Island
'rciiCty, at a point which In bo great time mutt come wi'hin the corpor
i limits of tte city of Rock Island.
Hp is more widely known and Lis ai;tcbiogTaj)hy has given him a more
. manent fame than any other India i warrior in American history.
Local pride as well as delight in good reading will iudu-e every citizen
of Rock 'eland county to procure a opv of this extraordinary book.
