 | | A Native American leader, Black Hawk (17671838), who was born in the Sac village near the site of present Rock Island, Ill., and who had fought for the British in the War of 1812, denounced the treaty and resisted removal. |
 | | The last battle of the war took place on the Bad Axe River, where Black Hawk was attacked by these troops and a Sioux war party. |
 | | Black Hawk himself escaped, surrendered to the Winnebago, was turned over for imprisonment, and was released in 1833 to return to the pitiful remnant of his tribe and his family in Iowa. |
