Title: The Autobiography of Black Hawk
Author: Black Hawk & J. B. Patterson (Ed.)
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
Year: 1975
160 pages
Audiobook from Audible. Black Hawk's story of duplicity by the US. While I assume he is disposed toward his own positive account of himself, he also acknowledges his errors at many points. Given the execrable conduct of the US government in its dealings with native people, I'll presume a reasonable degree of accuracy. Black Hawk is clear and even-handed, and I enjoyed reading this despite the sorrow provoked by its content.
