About this record

After the war, in early 1833, Black Hawk and several other Sauk prisoners were put on tour in several northern American cities, including Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Albany, Buffalo, and Detroit. These newspaper clippings from that year describe how he was received, relate anecdotes about how he coped with his celebrity, and include a brief speeche by him in Philadelphia.
