Reprint of 1914 book: IN “THE TOTEM OF
BLACK HAWK” I have tried to do something more than just
to write a story that will thrill and interest—I have endeavored
to put real historical value into it, to give correct pictures
of how the pioneers of the Middle West lived, how they built
and furnished their homes and planted and tilled their fields.
The plot becomes involved in the Black Hawk War and that famous
Indian chief plays an important part in the tale. In writing
of this war I have sought to tell the truth, so far as I could
learn it, even when the truth was discreditable to my own race;
for, in this war, as in many of our other Indian wars, the white
man was far from blameless. - EVERETT MCNEIL
