“These measurements are taken with callipers, from the bust of Black
Hawk, which was taken in plaster of Paris from the living head and
face, by the Messrs. Fowler, in 1837, at New York. As his head was
mostly shaved, they are probably as perfect and accurate, by making
allowance of about half an inch for integuments, as though measured
directly on the skull itself.”
Footnote 5:
That book was dictated by Black Hawk in 1833, interpreted by Antoine
Le Claire to J.B. Patterson, who wrote it down in English and assisted
materially in securing its publication the following year. Mr.
Patterson was a private in Captain Maughs’ company of Jo Daviess
County volunteers.
