Apple River Fort

 

#OnThisDay we travel back to the Black Hawk War in 1832, when Sauk and Fox warriors attacked Apple River Fort near Galena. One person at the fort died and two were injured. None of the men led by Black Hawk were killed, but his effort to reclaim tribal land in Illinois would soon end in bloody defeat.
