Description

In 1833, near the end of his captivity, Black Hawk dictated his life story to an interpreter and this account, edited by a local reporter J. B. Patterson, was the first Native American autobiography to be published in the U.S. It immediately became a bestseller, going through many editions, and is reprinted from the 1882 edition which includes additional material by Patterson on the history of the Black Hawk War.
