Digitized by LnOOQ IC 1830.] PROCEEDINGS OP BLACK HAWK. 193 Black Hawk now organized a party in opposi- tion to Keokuk, and soon collected five hundred followers, well provided with horses and arms.
The tJnited States having notified the Indians to leave the country east of the Mississippi, Keo- kuk made known the proclamation to the Sacs and Foxes, who, with their regular chiefs, peace- ably retired. But Black Hawk and his party would not go. The Sac village was on the point of land formed by ...the Rock River and the Mis* sissippi. Here were about seven hundred acres, which had usually been planted with corn. This little peninsula had been a favourite dwelling- place of the tribe for one hundred and fifty years •; and when the indignant Black Hawk first learned that it had been ceded to the Americans, he reproached Keokuk, and finally obtained his promise to attempt its retrocession.
Relying on this promise, Black Hawk and his adherents set out in the fall of 1830 on their usual winter's hunt ; but on returning early in the spring, they found the whites in possession of their village, and their own wives and children, on the banks of the Mississippi, without a shelter.
