Hunting a Shadow: The Search for Black Hawk (An Eye-Witness Account of the Black Hawk War of 1832)

The late Crawford B. Thayer, Fort Atkinson native and Sauk War researcher and enthusiast, diligently assembled eyewitness accounts of Black Hawk and the movements of his "British Band" and his American pursuers through the wilds of then-western Michigan Territory. His narrative, if it can be called that, follows the words of the participants in a day by day... in some cases hour by hour... story that encompasses several weeks in Summer 1832.
