THE TRAIL OF BLACK HAWK BY PAUL G. TOMLINSON

Dark, thrilling, and hilarious, The Black Hawks is an epic adventure perfect for fans of Joe Abercrombie and Scott Lynch.

Black Hawk, who was chief of the Sac tribe, was unwilling to live in peace with the white settlers and was always waging war against any white man who tried to make his home in the far west in the early days of the history of our country. The author of this interesting book relates the thrilling experiences of two brothers, Joseph and Robert Hall, who in 1882, while working in the fields of their Illinois home, are warned that 'Black Hawk' is 'on the trail' and that he has sworn vengeance against them. They immediately start for the settlements, where they give the alarm and, with organized troops, they go out to fight the Indians. "[The] exciting story will be interesting to all boys who like to read good books." —The Atlanta Constitution

He is her enemy. He is her lover. He is her only hope... Someone is stalking French agent Justine DeCabrillac through London's gray streets. Under cover of the rain, the assassin strikes−and Justine staggers to the door of the one man who can save her. The man she once loved. The man she hated. Adrian Hawkhurst. Adrian wanted the treacherous beauty known as "Owl" back in his bed, but not wounded and clinging to life. Now, as he helps her heal, the two must learn to trust each other to confront the hidden menace that's trying to kill them—and survive long enough to explore the passion simmering between them once again.

This fictionalized account of the life of Chief Black Hawk paints a picture of the struggles between settlers and Native Americans during the nineteenth century, in particular Black Hawk's War which occurred in 1832.

A retelling of the Black Hawk War that brings into focus the forces struggling for control over the American frontier. Until 1822, the Sauk Nation occupied one of North America's largest and most prosperous Indian settlements, the envy of white Americans who had already begun to encroach upon the rich Indian land. When the inevitable conflicts turned violent, the Sauks were forced into exile, banished forever from the east side of the Mississippi River. Black Hawk and his followers rose up in the spring of 1832 and defiantly crossed the Mississippi from Iowa to Illinois to reclaim their ancestral home. Though the war lasted only three months, no other violent encounter between white America and native peoples embodies so clearly the essence of the Republic's inner conflict between its belief in freedom and human rights and its insatiable appetite for new territory.--From publisher description.
