About this product

Product Information

A rediscovered, defiant work of Native American literature, presented here on the 175th anniversary of its first publication Upon its publication in 1833, this unflinching narrative by the vanquished Sauk leader Black Hawk was the first thoroughly adversarial account of frontier hostilities between white settlers and Native Americans. Black Hawk, a complex, contradictory figure, relates his life story and that of his people, who had been forced from western Illinois in what was known as the Black Hawk War. The first published account of a victim of the American war of extermination, this vivid portrait of Indian life stands as a tribute to the author and his extraordinary people, as well as an invaluable historical document.

I'd do it again
I ordered this book looking for the copy that was recited by Black Hawk and Written down by a General. The description of this book did not say it was a dictation but it was an auto biography. I took a chance on it hoping it was the copy I seeking for my mother.( She had asked me to do a search for this particular publication) Turns out I hit it right. She was happy, I had it shipped direct to her. Mom was happy, I felt good she had it, and now she'll pass it on to my cousin that lent her the book she read prior to this one, which had mentioned Black Hawk did not trust many white men and would only trust this General to write his life story in translation. Good Read Great Price and wonderful service. Highly recommend the book and ebay.!!!!!
