Blackhawk - Southern Wisconsin, of which Rock County is
the center, is known as the “Land of Blackhawk”. During the War of 1812, Black Hawk, the American Indian Warrior, had fought on the side of the British against the U.S., hoping to push white American settlers away from Sauk territory. Later, he led a band of Sauk and Fox warriors,
known as the British Band, against European-American settlers in Illinois and present-day Wisconsin, including the Janesville
area, in the 1832 Black Hawk War.
After the war, he was captured by U.S. forces and taken to the eastern U.S. He and other war leaders were taken on tour of several cities.
