1 here was no- grammar to be had
-About New Salem, but the schoolmas
ter, having kept the run of that species
of property, gladdened Abe's heart by
telling him that he knew where there
(was one. Abe rose from the breakfast
;at which he was sitting and, learning
jthat tbe book was at Vaner's, only six i
Imiles distant, set off after it as hard as .
he could tramp. It seemed to Mr. Gra-
ham a very little while until he return
ed and announced, with great pleasure,
that he had it lie then turned his im
mediate and most undivided attention
to the study of it j
. Reads by Burning Shavings.
Sometimes, when business was not
particularly brisk, he would lie under
a shade tree in front of the store and
pore over the book; at other times a
customer would find him stretched on
the counter intently engaged in the
same way. But the store was a bad
place for study, and he was often seen
quietly slipping out of the village, as if
he wished to avoid observation, when,
If successful in getting off alone, he
would spend hours in the woods, mas
tering a book or in a state of profound
abstraction. He kept up his old habit
of sitting up late at night; but, as lights
were as necessary to his purpose as
they were expensive, the village cooper '
permitted him to sit in his shop, where !
he burned the shavings and kept a
blazing fire to read by when every one
else was in bed.
The Greens lent him books; the
schoolmaster gave him instructions in
the store, on the road or in the mead
ows; every visitor to New Salem who
matle the least pretension , to scholar
ship was waylaid by Abe and required
to explain something which he could
not understand. The result of it all
was that the village and the surround
ing country wondered at his growth in
knowledge, and he soon became as fa-1
mous for the goodness of his under-1
standing as for the muscular power of
his body and the unfailing humor of bis
talk.
Early in the spring of 1S32 some en
terprising gentlemen at Springfield de
termined to try whether the Sangamon
(Was a navigable stream or not. It was
a momentous question to the dwellers
along the banks, and when the steam
jboat Talisman was chartered to make i
the experiment the popular excitement
Was intense and her passage up and i
down was witnessed by great con
courses of people on either bank. It
was thought that Abe's experience on
this particular river would render his
assistance very valuable, and, in 'com
pany with some others, he was sent
down to Beardstown to meet the Tal- ;
lsman and pilot her up. 1
With Abe at the helm she ran with
comparative ease and safety as far as i
the New Salem dam, a part of which
they were compelled to tear away in
order to let the steamer through.
Thence she went on as high as Bogue's
mill; but having reached that point, the
rapidly falling water admonished her
captain and pilots that unless they
wished her to be left tSere for the sea
son, they must promptly turn her prow
down stream.
CHAPTER V.
Abe Becomes a Captain In the Black
Hawk War.
'N the spring of 1S32 Mr. Otfutt's
business had gone to ruin. The
store was sold out, the mill was
' handed over to its owners, Mr.
Offutt himself departed for parts un
known, and his "head clerk" was again
out of work. Just about that time a
governor's proclamation arrived calling
for volunteers to meet the famous chief
Black Hawk and his warriors, who
were preparing for a grand and, in all
likelihood, a bloody foray into their old
hunting grounds in the Bock river
country.
Black Hawk was a large Indian of
powerful frame and commanding pres
ence. He was a soldier and a states
man. The history of his diplomacy
with the tribes he sought to confeder
ate shows that he expected to realize
on a smaller scale the splendid plans of
Pontiac and Tecumseh. In his own
tongue he was eloquent and dreamed
dreams which, among the Indians,
passed for prophecy. The prophet is an
indispensable personage iu any com
prehensive scheme of Indian politics,
and no chief has ever effected', combi
nation of formidable strength without
his aid. In the person of Black Hawk
the chief and the prophet were one.
His power In both capacities was bent
toward a single end the great purpose
of his life the recovery of his birth
place and the ancient home of his peo
ple from the possession of the stranger.
Black Hawk was born on the Bock
river, in "Wisconsin, in the year 1767.
His grandfather lived near Montreal,
.whence his father Pyesa had emigrat
ed, but not until he had become thor
oughly British In his views and feet
Ings. All his life long he made annual
journeys to the councils of the tribe
at Maiden, where tbe gifts and pcnoa

ests. "When Pyesa was gatfieretTto his
fathers, his son took his place as the
chief of the Sacs, hated the Americans,
loved the friendly British and went
yearly to Maiden, precisely as he
thought Pyesa would have had him do.
But Black Hawk's mind was infinitely
superior to Pyesa's. His sentiments
were loftier, his heart more susceptible.
He had the gift of the seer, the power
of the orator, with the high courage
and the profound policy of a born war
rior and a natural ruler. He had brood
ed over the early history of his tribe,
and to his views as he looked down the
vista of years the former times seemed
so much better than the present that
the vision wrought upon his suscepti
ble imagination, which pictured it to be
the Indian golden age. He had some
remembrance of a treaty made by Gen
eral Harrison in 1804, to which his peo
ple had given their assent, and his feel
ings were with difficulty controlled
when he was required to leave the
Rock river valley in compliance with a
treaty made with General Scott That
valley, however, he peacefully aban
doned, with his tribe, on being notified,
and went to the west of the Mississippi,
but he had spent his youth in that lo
cality, and the more he thought of it
the more determined he was to return
thither. He readily enlisted the sympa
thies of the Indians, who are ever
prone to ponder on their real or imagi
nary wrongs, and it may be readily
conjectured that what Indian counsel
could not accomplish Indian prophecy
would. He had moved when summon
ed to move because he was then unpre-
BLACK HAWK.
pared to fight but he utterly denied
that the chiefs who seemed to have
ceded the lands long years before bad
any right to cede them or that the tribe
had ever willingly given up the coun
try to the stranger and the aggressor.
It was a fraud upon the simple In
dians; the old treaty was a great lie,
and the signatures it purported to have,
made with marks and primitive de
vices, were not attached in good faith
and were not the names of honest Sacs.
No, he would go over the river; he
would have his own. The voice of the
Great Spirit was in the air wherever he
went It was in his lodge through all
the nighttime, and it said, "Go!" and
Black Hawk must needs rise up and
tell the people what the voice said.
It was by such arguments as these
that Black Hawk easily persuaded the
Sacs. But hostilities by the Sacs alone
would be a hopeless adventure. He
must find allies. He looked first to their
kindred, the Foxes, who had precisely
the same cause for war with the Sacs,
and, after them, to the Winnebagoes,
Sioux, Kickapoos and many others.
That Black Hawk was a wise and val
iant leader all the Indians conceded,
and his proposals were heard by some
of the tribes with eagerness and by all
of them with respect At one time his
confederacy embraced nine tribes, the
most formidable in the northwest, if we
exclude the Sioux and the Chippeways,
who were themselves Inclined to ac
cede. Early in 1831 the first chief of
the Chippeways exhibited a miniature
tomahawk, red with vermilion, which,
having been accepted from Black
Hawk, signified an alliance between
them, and away up at Leech lake an
obscure but numerous band showed
some whites a few British medals
painted in imitation of blood, which
meant that they were to follow the
warpaths of Black Hawk.
In 1S31 Black Hawk had crossed the
river In small force, but had retired be
fore the advance of General Gaines,
commanding the United States post at
Rock Island. He then promised to re
main on the other side and to keep
quiet for the future. But early in the
spring of 1S32 he reappeared with
greater numbers, pushed straight into
the Bock river valley and said he had
come to plant corn. He was now sixty
seven years of age. He thought his
great plots were all right and his allies
last and true. They would fight a few
bloody battles, and then he would sit
down In his old age and see the corn
grow where he had seen it In his youth.
But the old chief reckoned too much
upon Indian fidelity. He committed the
fatal error of trusting to their patriot
ism Inetwad of their interests. General
Atkinson, now in command at Boek
Island, set the. troops jn motion. As
Jsesea Us MiLfor
committed some 'frfghtfuT DarDarlBes,
the blood of the settlers was boiling
and the regiments -were almost instant
ly filled with the best possible material
I So soon as these facts became known
the allies of Black Hawk, both the se
cret and the open, fell away from him
and left him, with the Sacs and the
Foxes, to meet his fate.
