NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, Washington, D.C., June 2, 1832 The front page has a report: "The Indian War" which is on the Black Hawk War, noting in part: "...an engagement had taken place at Fox River with the hostile Sacs and Foxes & that the militia sent out to meet them had even defeated..." with more.
Also, page 3 has: "The Indian War" being a letter from Lewis Cass, Sec. of War at the time. This is followed by: "Treaty With the Seminoles".
The Black Hawk War was a conflict between the United States and Native Americans led by Black Hawk, a Sauk leader. The war erupted after Black Hawk and a group of Indians crossed the Mississippi into Illinois. Black Hawk's motives were ambiguous, but he was apparently hoping to reclaim land sold to the United States in the disputed 1804 Treaty of St. Louis.
The Black Hawk War also gave a 23 year-old Abraham Lincoln his brief military service, although he never saw combat.
Four pages, a bit irregular at the spine, nice condition.
