The Black Hawk War of 1832 (Campaigns And Commanders)

The earliest accounts of the war, including one by Black Hawk himself, were highly concerning with blaming either the Indians or the Whites, says Jung (history, Milwaukee School of Engineering, Wisconsin), and later historians have generally rehashed these arguments. He reconsiders the causes and consequences of the summer 1832 conflict in Illinois, putting it, for example, in the context of Indian resistance to displacement during the period.
