Publisher's Synopsis
The removal of Black Hawk and his band of Sauk and Fox Indians essentially opened much of what was then the Northwest Territory of the United States - Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and part of Minnesota - to white settlement. ""Black Hawk and the War of 1832"" reveals in searing detail how the Black Hawk War culminated in a final battle at Bad Axe River in Wisconsin that was so brutal that many local tribes fled to the West.
