(Frank Everett), 1856-1939 Black Hawk War (1832) Generals Soldiers War of 1812 Veterans Mexican War (1846-1848) Generals Legislators Indians of North America Description An account of the resource Frank E. Stevens was a lawyer, banker, newspaper editor and writer based in Illinois. Stevens was born and educated in Dixon, Illinois. He studied law in Sycamore, Illinois, and was admitted to the bar in 1877. Shortly after that he moved to South Dakota where he operated the Beadle County National Bank until 1890 when he moved to Chicago and worked in a brokerage business. In 1907 Stevens returned to Sycamore, Illinois, where he published the Dixon Weekly Citizen and later the Sycamore Tribune. He retired from the newspaper business in 1928 and was elected mayor of Sycamore in 1931. Governor Henry Horner appointed Stevens to the War Records Division of the office of the Adjutant General. Stevens was a historian who authored several historical works including The Black Hawk War. Stevens used the majority of the items in the collection while researching and writing The Black Hawk War. The Black Hawk War (1832), although brief, has much significance for Native American history. In April, tribal groups of Sauk, Meskwakis, and Kickapoo, led by Chief Black Hawk of the Sauk, crossed the Mississippi River from Iowa into Illinois. Known as the British Band, they claimed lands under the 1804 Treaty of St. Louis, a treaty the whites disputed. Fearful, militia’s fired on the Native American delegation in what led to the Battle of Stillman’s Run, a resounding defeat for the militias. Black Hawk was eventually defeat, however, at the battles of Wisconsin Heights and Bad Axe. Historically, the Black Hawk War legitimized and strengthened forcible relocation of Native American tribes further west. The finding aid for the Frank E. Stevens Papers, 1832-1939 at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum is located at: http://alplm-cdi.com/chroniclingillinois/items/show/610. Photographs in this collection include images of several individuals connected to the Black Hawk War including Chief Shabbona, Major Isaiah Stillman, Brigadier General Milton K. Alexander, Colonel Nathan Boone, and Brigadier General Henry Atkinson. The collection also includes images of prominent Illinois residents from the mid and late 19th century including actress Mary Garden, William S. Hamilton, and Charles B. Farwell.

Sir To you as Governor of the State of Illinois (among whose sons we feel proud to be numbered) the officers and Soldiers of the 48” Ills Vol Infy desire to commit for future custody and Preservation the flag they have hitherto borne. The many privations, Hardships and perils endured whilst serving beneath its folds in behalf and for the unity of the Government it represents has endeared it and rendered it to us a sacred relic. As such we entrust it to the keeping of the State, whose honor has been in part entrusted to our keeping. You will find inscribed upon it the names of Ft. Henry Ft Donaldson Shiloh and Corinth at each of which places it was borne by our regiment It has always been unfurled where duty and honor required and never trailed before the enemy nor [illegible] a retreat and although many of our brave comrades who followed it have fallen and sacrificed themselves for the Government and Constitution (Dear and Hallowed to us as the priceless heritage of our fathers) of which it is the emblem. Yet they fell only in the midst of victory on fields rendered forever memorable and Glorious by the triumph of their Comrades in arms. And to aid in which their lives were freely Given. At the same time that we thus commit our “old flag” to you as the official representative of the State we desire to testify to you personally our appreciation of Your Constant efforts for, and sympathies with the Soldiers You have aided to send into the army of the union. And our confidence without distinction of party in your patriotism and devotion to the Government and Constitution <hr /> we are trying to preserve. We feel the utmost assurance that whilst the Soldiers of Illinois are maintaining the Glory of her name, and the heritage of her people in the field You no less earnestly and devotedly are striving to the same end at home We have the honor to be with Great Respect truly & faithfully Yours I N Haynie Col 48th Ills vol Infy Asher Goslin Surgeon 48th Ill.
