Description
In 1832, the Sac (or Sauk) war chief Black Hawk led his followers into the final battle for the survival of their centuries-old culture. The forces he and his band faced, forces consisting of much more than the better-armed and vastly more numerous soldiers of the U.S. army, were simply too great. An inspiring leader, he was tenacious, clever, and very, very brave. Black Hawk faced and won the respect of such figures in American history as Andrew Jackson, Winfield Scott, and Jefferson Davis. In spite of the war he waged against the United States, he won the admiration of its people. AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF BLACK HAWK is his powerful story, in his own words. AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF BLACK HAWK is especially designed for use in secondary social studies and English classrooms. It is a valuable addition to the classes in American Literature, U.S. History, or Ethnic Studies. This edition includes the entire original manuscript. Editor's notes, images, and numbered footnotes have been added to facilitate learning. Higher-level vocabulary words are identified and defined.
