These are the principal facts connected with
Black Hawk who was one of the most remark
able red men that ever lived. Thsugh not born
a chief he became one through the strength of
his own character, and fought determinedly for
what he thought was right. He had the re-
spect of the white men who fought against
him, and died, as he had lived, believing in the
rights of his own band, however much he may
have been mistaken.

Indian eioquence they have some value but
IKE many other speeches, when the exciting
times which called them forth have passed
away, they do not have much value Indian
speeches IRE said to be made up of short elo-

them which is not always pleasing, though
very much to the point. The red men were
inclined to boast of their own exploits on which
they placed an undue value which is always
