While no sources or references are given, many details fit with what is known about Black Hawk. One difference is the reason the 4 chiefs who first went to St Louis to meet with the Americans (p.20). The story doesn't hide the Americans glossing over the real meaning of the treaties that were given to be signed, but does not clearly state that this was deliberate. It also implies that only male warriors were killed when the tribe attempted to cross the Mississippi.
About half of each page is a pen & wash brown illustration which nicely fits the story and shows Black Hawk's strong appearance.
I'm reading as many biographies of this hero as I can find, and so far this is the best of the children's books. Now, if I can only find one for a slightly older age group that doesn't make me shudder at the prejudices and stereotypes. ( )
