Black Hawk and his Son, Whirling Thunder |
"Blackhawkiana":Black Hawk and the Leading Figures of the British Band on their Eastern Tour |
While
taking the tour of the East--perhaps to show Black Hawk and other leading
figures from the "British Band" the
irresistible power of the United States, perhaps to show off the captured
Savages warriors
to the American public--the traveling Indians were transformed from dangerous
prisoners of war into darlings of the Eastern press...especially in those
newspapers hostile to Andrew Jackson. The links below illustrate what
was said of the captives during their trip. |
