In the spring of 1832 a terrifying series of alarms spread like prairie fire throughout the lead mining region of northwestern Illinois and the part of Michigan Territory that is now southwestern Wisconsin: A large Native American force led by the Sauk warrior chief Black Hawk was headed north in that direction with the intent of attacking and driving out settlers. In response, the new settlers formed militia and built a series of fortifications to protect themselves. This course tells the dramatic and tragic story of one fortification, Fort Blue Mounds, occupied by lead miners and their families. that became entangled in the Blackhawk War. It also describes modern archaeological excavations by a large group of volunteers that led to the relocation of the fort and documented the lifestyle of the settlers during the conflict.
