[265]-345) and index.Roots of conflict -- A new Onontio -- A mounting storm -- Crisis on the upper Mississippi -- Everything to lose -- Warpath -- Final blows -- Losing the peace -- An Indian war.In the spring of 1832, when the Indian warrior Black Hawk and a thousand followers marched into Illinois to reoccupy lands earlier ceded to American settlers, the U.S. Army turned to rival tribes for military support. In order to grasp Indian motives, John Hall explores their alliances in earlier wars with colonial powers as well as in intertribal antagonisms and conflicts. Providing a rare view of Indian attitudes and strategies in war and peace, Hall deepens our understanding of Native Americans and the complex roles they played in the nation's history.Black Hawk War, 1832Indians of North AmericaGovernment relations1789-1869Black Hawk War, 1832.Indians of North AmericaGovernment relations973.5/6Hall John W(John William),1972-1647517MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814030203321Uncommon defense3995114UNINA
