"I was once a great warrior; I am now poor…I am now old. I have looked upon the Mississippi since I have been a child. I love the great river. I have dwelt upon its banks from the time I was an infant. I look upon it now. I shake hands with you, and as it is my wish, I hope you are my friends.” – Black Hawk at Fort Madison, 1838
