Black Hawk (Mucati Mi Hi Hi Eatak). Chief of the Sacs and Foxes, led his people in a war against the United States in 1832. He was born in Illinois, at Rock River, small in stature and his figure was not striking. He was a great friend to the English, committing many depredations on the border settle- ments. He was captured and confined at Fortress Monroe, Va., after which he was taken on a tour through the principal eastern cities so that he might behold the power of the nation. He died in 1838. His skeleton was in Burlington Historical Society Building until 1855, when the building was burned.
