"The Black Hawk War Including a Review of Black Hawk's Life" by Frank Everett Stevens is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the life of Black Hawk, a prominent Native American leader, and the conflict known as the Black Hawk War, providing detailed insights into the tensions between Native Americans and American settlers during this tumultuous period. The opening of the book introduces the author’s dedication to his mother, emphasizing the work as a labor of love. Stevens begins the narrative by outlining his extensive research on Black Hawk, revealing the challenges he faced in gathering materials, including interviews with eyewitnesses and original documents. He sets the stage for an in-depth examination of Black Hawk's early life, personality traits, and the escalations that led to conflict, particularly detailing events surrounding treaties that shaped relations between Black Hawk's tribe and the United States. This foundational chapter establishes the complexity of Black Hawk's character and the context for understanding the subsequent chapters that delve into the detailed accounts of the war and its implications on Native American culture and society.
