Note 129 — TRAVELS IN THE INTERIOR OF NORTH AMERICA, IN THE YEARS 1832, 1833, AND 1834 (continued 4)

For the early history and the alliance of the Sauk and Foxes, see J. Long's Voyages, in our volume ii, p. 185, note 85. Black Hawk and his fellow prisoners were being kept as hostages for the good behavior of the remainder of the tribe, after the war of 1832. See Thwaites, "Black Hawk War," in How George Rogers Clark won the Northwest (Chicago, 1903), pp. 116-200; and Treaties between the United States of America and the several Indian Tribes (Washington, 1837), pp. 508-510. Soon after Maximilian's visit, Black Hawk was sent on a tour to the East, in order that he might appreciate the resources and power of the American people.—Ed.
