		Black Hawk was born in the village of Saukenuk on the Rock River, near present-day Rock Island, Illinois.
		Black Hawk became quite popular as a result of his tour and crowds came to see him, although in Western cities, less influenced by the myth of the noble savage and more by the myth of the savage Indian, the crowds were less friendly.
		Black Hawk’s sons Nashashuk and Gamesett went to Governor Robert Lucas of Iowa Territory, who used his influence to bring the bones to security in his offices in Burlington where, with the permission of the Chief's sons, they were left in the care of the Burlington Geological and Historical Society.

	Black Hawk bridge (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The appropriateness of the Black Hawk Bridge as a memorial to the Great Indian chief is realized from the fact that four miles north of the bridge site, on the Wisconsin side, is located what is known as the Black Hawk battle ground, where occurred probably the most important engagement in the Black Hawk War.
		All of the territory adjacent to the bridge is rich in the traditions of the Sac and Fox Indians and their Great Leader, and on the right-of-way to the bridge descendants of the old Sac and Fox tribes are now living.
		Thus the memory of Chief Black Hawk and the rich Indian lore of this great scenic section is perpetuated in the Black Hawk bridge.

	GameSpy: Delta Force: Black Hawk Down Review
		In some ways, Black Hawk Down's mission objectives could easily be confused with Medal Of Honor: Allied Assault: protect a convoy; destroy a bridge; take out a radio tower; sink a ship; capture high-ranking enemy personnel.
		Most of the time, you'll be running around on foot, but a number of missions also have you riding along the ground in a Humvee or in the air in a Black Hawk or "little bird" chopper.
		Even with objectives changing constantly in the heat of battle, Black Hawk Down is basically a shoot-the-bad-guys affair and there are a LOT of bad guys.

	Film Blather: Black Hawk Down
		Black Hawk Down is a film of astonishing power.
		The story unfolds in multiple places at once, and Scott manages to somehow keep the action fluid, comprehensible and exciting; when the three monosyllabic words of the title were actually uttered, the effect was so devastating that I nearly tumbled out of my seat.
		Black Hawk Down was produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, but there is no mindless flag-waving or hero-mongering to be found.

	Mixed Reviews - Black Hawk Down - reviewed by Gabriel Shanks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Like that masterpiece, BLACK HAWK DOWN captures the tenuous balance between war’s dueling perspectives: the intimate, human experience of the individual soldier, and the larger expansive canvas of warfare…a balance that many other films in the genre have struggled with.
		Hartnett emerges as a star in BLACK HAWK DOWN in a way that he could not while standing under Ben Affleck’s shadow in Pearl Harbor.
		For most of its running time, BLACK HAWK DOWN is thankfully short of overblown sentimentality (a fault that capsized the year’s other major war film, Pearl Harbor).
