Black Hawk and the War of 1832
Discusses the life and times of the Sauk chief who led his people in a struggle to prevent the advance of white settlers in Illinois that culminated with the Black Hawk War of 1832.
The Black Hawk War of 1832
In 1832, facing white expansion, the Sauk warrior Black Hawk attempted to forge a pan-Indian alliance to preserve the homelands of the confederated Sauk and Fox tribes on the eastern bank of the Mississippi. Here, Patrick J. Jung re-examines the causes, course, and consequences of the ensuing war with the United States, a conflict that decimated Black Hawk's band. Correcting mistakes that plagued previous histories, and drawing on recent ethnohistorical interpretations, Jung shows that the outcome can be understood only by discussing the complexity of intertribal rivalry, military ineptitude, and racial dynamics.
Uncommon Defense
In the spring of 1832, when the Indian warrior Black Hawk and a thousand followers marched into Illinois to reoccupy lands ceded to American settlers, the U.S. Army turned to rival tribes for military support. In order to grasp Indian motives, Hall explores their alliances in earlier wars with colonial powers and in intertribal conflicts.

Black Hawk
This stirring chronicle of the 1832 Black Hawk War examines the forces struggling for control over the American frontier. The Sauk Nation once occupied one of North America's largest and most prosperous Indian settlements. The hundreds of acres along the Mississippi River were the envy of white Americans who had already begun to encroach upon the rich Indian land. When the conflicts between natives and white squatters turned violent, the Sauks were forced to permanently evacuate the east side of the Mississippi River. In the spring of 1832, the Sauk leader Black Hawk, along with 700 warriors, defiantly crossed the Mississippi from Iowa to Illinois in order to reclaim their ancestral home. The three month conflict, which ended in the massacre of surrendering Sauk fighters, dramatically embodies the Republic's inner conflict between its belief in freedom and its insatiable appetite for new territory. In Black Hawk, Kerry A. Trask gives new and vivid life to the heroic efforts of Black Hawk and his men, illuminating the tragic history of frontier America through the eyes of those who were cast aside in the pursuit of the new nation's manifest destiny.

The Corpse in the Kitchen
Reassessing the archive of the Black Hawk War, The Corpse in the Kitchen explores relationships between the enclosure of Indigenous land, histories of resource extraction, and the literary culture of settler colonialism. While conventional histories of the Black Hawk War have long treated the conflict as gratuitous, Adam John Waterman argues that the war part of a struggle over the dispensation of mineral resources specifically, mineral lead—and the emergence of new cultures of killing and composition. The elemental basis for the fabrication of bullets, lead drawn from the mines of the upper Mississippi, contributed to the dispossession of Indigenous peoples through the consolidation of U....
