Donald Jackson edited the first scholarly version of this work--\u003ci\u003eBlack Hawk: An Autobiography\u003c\/i\u003e--in 1955. Since then, the \u003ci\u003eLife \u003c\/i\u003ehas become a classic and seminal text in the fields of Native American literature and studies, American history, literature, autobiography, and cultural studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition of Black Hawk's 1833 autobiography includes explanatory, historical, and textual notes that significantly enrich the understanding of Black Hawk's memoir, his life, and the Black Hawk War of 1832. The notes and a chronology make this key Native American text available to scholars in several new ways. Likewise, in its preface and critical essay, this edition moves beyond Jackson's historical work to incorporate insights from numerous other disciplines that have since engaged the text. These investigations reflect the new developments in scholarship since 1955, suggest future possibilities for the crosscultural study of Black Hawk's \u003ci\u003eLife\u003c\/i\u003e, and examine the continuity of his autobiography within Native American and other life-story traditions. This volume also includes the biographical continuation of Black Hawk's \u003ci\u003eLife\u003c\/i\u003e--recounting subsequent events in his life until his death in 1838--written by J. B. Patterson for his 1882 reissued and expanded edition of the original autobiography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScholars of Native American literature and history and settler colonialism will find much to engage them in this remarkable new edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-10394747\"\u003eMichael A.
