RE: Black Hawk-Statue Friday

in #esteem6 years ago

It started in Illinois and they chased Blackhawk and his people- including women and children up the river.. they made a river crossing just a ways up from my house and camped at places very near here. They traveled across southern Wi heading back toward the Mississippi River but the soldiers caught them there and most all of the tribe was slaughtered.

Sort:  

oh wow. So this was another horrible disaster by our government that never should have happened. Well that's depressing but interesting so thanks so much for filling me in on this.
