THE Source for Black Hawk War students,
By
This review is from: The Black Hawk War, 1831-1832 (Collections of the Illinois State Historical Library, Volumes 35-38) (Hardcover)
Ellen Whitney's work regarding Illinois' contributions to the conflict is "exhaustive" by definition. Typescripts of numerous orders, communications, newspaper accounts, diaries, journals, etc. from numerous leaders, communities, and common folk are provided in a readily usable format, in chronological order. Not stopping there, Ms. Whitney's extensive footnotes often add gems of information for the historian, researcher, or geneologist sometimes literally found nowhere else. Numerous maps help find obscure locations, rivers, etc.One volume is a complete reprint of the Illinois muster-rolls for the volunteer militia, complete with index. If you can only afford one comprehensive look at the Black Hawk war 1831-2, this is it! |
