Excerpt from Notes on Iowa: With a New and Beautifully Engraved Map; Showing the State, County, and Township Lines, Public Roads, Contemplated Railroads, and Including the Most Recent Settlements and ImprovementsUntil as late as the year 1832, the whole territory north of the State of Missouri was in undisputed posses sion of the Indians. By a treaty made in 1830, the Sacs and Forges, who were then one of the principal tribes, had ceded to the United States the last of their lands east of the Mississippi River. Their unwillingness to leave the ceded territory in compliance with the treaty, led to the Black Hawk War, which resulted; after several fierce skirmishes, in the total defeat of the Indians at the battle of the bad-axe, on the 2nd of August, 1832. In the September following, partly as an indemnity for the ex penses of the war, and partly to secure the future safety and tranquility of the invaded frontier, a strip of country on the west of the Mississippi, extending nearly 300 miles north from Missouri, and about 50 miles in width, (now commonly called the Black Hawk was ceded to the United States and in June, 1833, the settle ment of Iowa by the white man was commenced.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
