I was listening to Wisconsin Public Radio's "Simply Folk" Sunday night (July 27) with host Judy Rose as I usually do. Last Sunday Judy said (not an exact quote, paraphrasing)
"In 1832 Black Hawk and his people were pushed out of the Rock River valley. In July two of his peace emissaries were killed at the Battle of Wisconsin Heights."
Fortunately I didn't catch the rest of what she said but I'm sure the tens of thousands of listeners in Wisconsin benefited from her history lesson which isn't too far off from the official WHS version.
