Pending this outbreak, Col. Dodge came with Captains John H. Rountree, and James H. Gentry, to the head of the Four Lakes, near where Madison now is, and had a council with the Winnebagoes, counseling them not to join the Sacs in the war.
Gen. Atkinson, in command, sent Dodge's command, and also Major Henry's and Major Alexander's brigades to Fort Winnebago at Portage for supplies. Arriving there, he learned from the Winnebagoes the hiding place of the Sacs and Foxes, Black Hawk's band. They were then at the rapids of Rock river, near now Hustisford. The force at once set out to attack them.
The Indians, however, had fled. Their trail was discovered, bearing toward Wisconsin river. They were pursued. Reaching the Catfish river, between Third and Fourth Lakes, the Indians were found on the site of the city of Madison,- one of whom was shot and left dead near the present capitol. The next day (July 21st) the Indians were pursued; they fled westward passing to the south of Fourth Lake to the bluffs of the Wisconsin. A battle here ensued. The Indians lost several killed and many were wounded. The Ameri- can loss was one killed and 8 wounded. Thence, Black Hawk and his party fled westward to the Mississippi. A few days later Col. Dodge pursued them, with fresh troops, and came up with them near the mouth of the Bad Axe, 40 miles above Prairie du Chien. A steamboat had been sent up the river, to prevent their escape across the river. The Sacs were now in bad plight. Col. Dodge attacked them. Some escaped across the river. The rest were captured. Black Hawk escaped to seek refuge among the Winnebagoes; but a large re- ward was offered for him; and the Winnebagoes arrested and gave him up. He was sent to Prairie du Chien, thence to Jefferson Barracks. Of the 1,000 Indians who crossed the Mississippi with him in the spring not over 150 survived the famous Black Hawk war. The chief died in 1838 near Des Moines. This outbreak served one purpose. It advertised Wis- consin and stimulated settlement.
