1851 INDIANS Life & Adventures of Black Hawk Sac Keokuk Fox NATIVE AMERICAN War



“The Life and Adventures of Black Hawk: With Sketches of Keokuk, the Sac and Fox Indians, and the Late Black Hawk War” by Benjamin Drake is a comprehensive exploration of Black Hawks life, a leader of the Sac (Sauk) and Fox tribes, and the tumultuous history of his people in relation to the United States. The book meticulously documents Black Hawks personal adventures, his leadership role in the Black Hawk War, and provides detailed accounts of the Sac and Fox tribes, their customs, societal structures, and their forced relocations. Benjamin Drake, a prominent historian and editor from Cincinnati, critically examines the U.S. governments contradictory policies and actions towards the Native American tribes, challenging mainstream narratives and advocating for a more humane and fair treatment of the indigenous people. The book serves not only as a historical document but also as a call to action, urging a reevaluation of the U.S. governments stance towards the Native American tribes at the time, aiming to provoke thought and bring attention to the injustices they faced.



This 1851 edition provides an expanded Appendix that includes, “Sketches of the Sioux,” “Colonization of the Indians,” “Indian Dancing Ceremonies,” and the “Sale of Whiskey to the Indians”.
