The Autobiography of Ma-Ka-Tai-Me-She-Kia-Kiak or Black Hawk is a memoir written by Black Hawk, a Native American leader of the Sauk tribe. The book is a first-hand account of Black Hawk's life, from his childhood to his experiences as a warrior and leader of his people. The book also provides insight into the Sauk tribe's struggle against the United States government during the early 19th century, including the Black Hawk War. Black Hawk's memoir is an important historical document that sheds light on the experiences of Native Americans during a time of great change and conflict in American history. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in Native American history, the history of the United States, or the history of warfare.The old chief had some dogs killed and made a feast preparatory to resigning his scepter, to which all the nation were invited. Great anxiety prevailed among them to know what the three brothers had seen and heard. . When the old chief arose and related to them the sayings and doings of his three sons, and concluded by saying that the Great Spirit had directed that these, his three sons, should take the rank and power that had once been his, and that he yielded these honors and duties willingly to them, because it was the wish of the Great Spirit, and he could never consent to make him angry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
