Believe me, I said the same thing when I began to research him. But was so important to history! For instance, without chief Black Hawk, the war of 1832 wouldn’t be called the Black Hawk war or might not have happened at all. Or the British might have been beat a lot worse if Black Hawk and his “British Band” weren’t involved in the war of 1812. History could be so much more different if Black Hawk never fought, never became a chief, or was never born at all.
