Ma-Ka-Tai-Me-She-Kia-Kiak, also known as Black Hawk (1767-1838), dictated his autobiography in 1833 while in custody at Jefferson Barracks in Missouri.
"This new edition of a stirring autobiography is not only an American classic but is one of the relatively few accounts of American-Indian relations as they appeared to a leader of the Indians."--Americana "A classic of midwestern literature, a remarkable self-portrait by a complex individual who identified closely with the heritage of his tribe. At a time when [Native Americans] were being removed by government policy, it made the Indian perspective a part of the national consciousness. . . . The best edition of the 1833 text is by Donald Jackson."--John E. Hallwas, in Illinois Literature: The Nineteenth Century "If any historical study deserves to be characterized as definitive, this edition of Black Hawk's narrative does." --Milo M. Quaife, author of Chicago and the Old Northwest, 1673-1835, The Development of Chicago, 1674-1914
