Book Description
Black Hawk, who was chief of the Sac tribe, was unwilling to live in peace with the white settlers and was always waging war against any white man who tried to make his home in the far west in the early days of the history of our country. The author of this interesting book relates the thrilling experiences of two brothers, Joseph and Robert Hall, who in 1882, while working in the fields of their Illinois home, are warned that 'Black Hawk' is 'on the trail' and that he has sworn vengeance against them. They immediately start for the settlements, where they give the alarm and, with organized troops, they go out to fight the Indians. "[The] exciting story will be interesting to all boys who like to read good books." —The Atlanta Constitution

Book Description
The name Black Hawk permeates the built environment in the upper Midwestern United States. It has been appropriated for everything from fitness clubs to used car dealerships. Makataimeshekiakiak, the Sauk Indian war leader whose name loosely translates to "Black Hawk," surrendered in 1832 after hundreds of his fellow tribal members were slaughtered at the Bad Axe Massacre. Re-Collecting Black Hawk examines the phenomena of this appropriation in the physical landscape, and the deeply rooted sentiments it evokes among Native Americans and descendants of European settlers. Nearly 170 original photographs are presented and juxtaposed with texts that reveal and complicate the significance of the imagery. Contributors include tribal officials, scholars, activists, and others, such as George Thurman, the principal chief of the Sac and Fox Nation and a direct descendant of Black Hawk. These image-text encounters offer visions of both the past and present and the shaping of memory through landscapes that reach beyond their material presence into spaces of cultural and political power.

Re-Collecting Black Hawk also points toward the future. By simultaneously unsettling and reconstructing the Midwestern landscape, Re-Collecting Black Hawk envisions new modes of pea
