Deer Park in 1829, and Elsa Armstrong in 3831. Charles Brown and the Hogabooms came in 1830. These, with a few others, were the whole population of La Salle County in 1831-32, when the Black Hawk war broke over the defenseless colony. The settlements in the county were located at Ottawa and vicinity, nearly all south of the river, extending to Covell creek, and to Brown's Point below. At Dayton and Rutland, on both sides of the Fox, and on the Illinois at or near the Grand Rapids, there might have been fifty persons; four or five families on Indian creek; four or five at La Salle and Peru and the bluff opposite; a like number at Bailey's Grove, and two or three each on the Upper Yermillion, and in what is now the town of Deer Park--a feeble and scattered people, on the extreme borders of civilization, but illy prepared to meet the shock of savage warfare. The outbreak in the spring of 1831, when Black Hawk crossed the Mississippi, near Rock Island, and drove the settlers from their claims, alarmed the whole frontier. The timid left the country, and immigration ceased. The difficulty was temporarily settled, but there was a feverish anxiety among the people; and when, in the spring of 1832, the Sauks, under Black Hawk, took the war-path in earnest, many precipitately left, decreasing the means of defense, and weakening the already feeble colony. The winter of 1830-31 was a very severe one; the snow was of unusual depth, and traveling across the country almost impossible. The water of the Illinois river, at the time of the spring floods, was from two to three feet higher than it has been since. BLACK HAWK WAR. Black Hawk, the chief of what was called the British band of the Sauks, who made war on the settlements in 1831, and again in 1832, .., 65, History, 271237, Ancient History & Civilisation, 276416, Archaeology, 271343, Britain & Ireland, 271480, Europe, 271565, North America, 271411, Military History, 772016, Maritime History, 771710, Political History, 772148, Social & Economic History, 772162, Cultural History, 771714, Religious History, 271389, Other Historical Subjects, 771724, Essays, Journals, Letters & True Accounts, 271605, Reference, 771718, World History, 771708, Countries & Regions, 4119251, Academic History, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books<
