Life Of Black Hawk: Ma-Ka-Tai-Me-She-Kia-Kiak (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163770498)

The Life of Black Hawk is a historical biography written by Milo Milton Quaife, chronicling the life of a Native American leader named Ma-Ka-Tai-Me-She-Kia-Kiak, or Black Hawk. The book traces Black Hawk's life from his early years as a warrior and leader of the Sauk tribe, through his struggles against white settlers and government officials who sought to displace his people from their ancestral lands, and ultimately to his capture and imprisonment. Quaife draws on a variety of sources, including Black Hawk's own autobiography, to provide a detailed and nuanced portrait of this important figure in Native American history. The book also sheds light on the broader historical context of Black Hawk's life, including the complex relationships between Native American tribes and the United States government in the early 19th century. Overall, The Life of Black Hawk is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in Native American history and the struggles of indigenous peoples against colonialism and oppression.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
