Der of Early's company of rangers,
took an active part in all the maneu-
vers, and when word was brought on
the Sth of July by some Winnebago
Indians that Black Hawk was hiding
in the swamp on an island in Lake
Koshkonong, five miles down the river,
1t was Early's company that was sent
to reconnoiter. They crossed the river
on RATS to the island, Lincoln among
them, but the willy Hawk had flown.
This happened on the 9th of July.
They returned up the river to the main
command, and on the 10th of July Lin
coin was mustered out of service. The
next day he started out with his COM
panions for his home in Illinois. That
night his own horse and that OF one
of his comrades wns stolen. and the
rest of the distance was made on foot.
Lincoln was very fond of talking in
later life Of his experiences in the
Black Hawk war. On one occasion.
in the fall Of 1859, he was making
speeches In Wisconsin. After speak
ing at Beloit he was conveyed by car
riage to Janesville. They traversed
the same route as that taken by the
army In the Black Hawk war twenty
seven years before. Lincoln recog-
nized 1t and talked freely about the
events OF that time, telling in his hui
morous way OF the difficulties encoun-
tered in his journey home after his
horse was stolen.
Gradually. however. in the three quar-
ters of "A century and more that have
passed since the time when Lincoln

80. 1882, this company crossed the ter

on the bank of the Rock river, about q
mile above the Turtle village of the
Winnebago Indians, and which is the
site Of the present city of Beloit. The
company was often alarmed by the

more widespread
fear and CONSERVATION than any other
in the history of our country.
When the story of the battle at Still
mans Run. where small band of saw
ages put to flight whole regiment Of
soldiers, and also that of the massacre
at the Davis farm, where fifteen wom-
en- and children where murdered, was
spread through the country there was
scarcely farmhouse all through the
middle West that was not deserted.
Both Of the places mentioned were in
northern Illinois and soon stockade
forts were thrown up and there the
people flocked for protection from the
vast horde of savages that they be-
lieved to be on their trail.
Governor Reynolds of Illinois on
April 10. 1892, issued a proclamation
for volunteers to organize against the
savages, and Lincoln. then twenty
three years OF age and living at New
Salem, Sangamon county. Illinois, was
one of the first to respond. The COM
pany was allowed to choose its own
captain and much to his joy Lincoln
received the largest number of votes.
OF this incident he spoke in later years
as follows: Then came the Black
Hawk war and l was elected captain
of volunteers, success which gave me
more pleasure than l have had since"
In those early days Lincoln showed
that same observance to justice and
the rights of others which character
lied his later years, in evidence of
which may be noted the incident of the
Indians coming to General Cass with
letter recommending him for his
services to the whites. Some of the
men in the company wished him shot
rs spy, but Lincoln promptly inter
fered. saying that this peaceable In
dian should not be killed. There is no
record to show but what his Judgment
was correct and his leniency well ad-
vised.
One Of the most interesting facts In
Lncoln's history at this time, and
which shows what queer pranks fate
can play. Ia this: Gen. Winfield Scott,
then In command at Fort Smelling,
sent two young lieutenants to muster
in the Illinois volunteers. In the lam
guage of memoir of the times, one of
thVcG hSutShhht5 was NNAs
mating young man of easy manners and
affable disposition, while the other was
equally pleasant and extremely mod
est. II Is further stated that IA tall.
homely young man dressed in blue
jeans" presented himself to the lieu
tenants as captain Of company OF
volunteers and was duly sworn In.
The one who administered the oath
Of allegiance to the 'young man In
blue jeans" was the lieutenant of the
fascinating manners above mentioned.
This was Jefferson Davis. The young
man In blue jenns was Abraham Lin
coln and the other young lieutenant
Of "the extremely modest" demeanor
was Robert Anderson. commander of
Fort Sumter ut the beginning of the
Civil war. And no premonltion told
them. rs they stood together on that
pleasant spring morning, of the impor-
tant parts they were each to play In
that great drama OF blood.
