Convinced that a group of Native American tribes were hostile, The United States formed a frontier militia to stop them in their tracks. Even though Black Hawk was hoping to avoid bloodshed while trying to resettle on tribal land, U.S. officials opened fire on the Native Americans. Black Hawk then responded to this confrontation by successfully attacking the militia at the Battle of Stillman's Run and then left northward. After a few months the militia caught up with Black Hawk and his men and defeated them at the Battle of Wisconsin Heights. While being weakened by hunger, injuries and desertion, Black Hawk and the rest of the many native survivors retreated towards the Mississippi. Unfortunately, Black Hawk and other leaders were later captured when they surrendered to the US forces and were then imprisoned for a year.

History: Hendrick Martenszen Wiltse or, in some early records, Wiltsee (c. 1623–1712) lived in Wiltwyck, New Amsterdam in New Netherland (now New York City, NY), by 1660, the time of his marriage. At that time his surname (nickname) was Van Coppenhagen, but the capital of Denmark is not likely to be the place of his origin. He is said to have been born aboard a ship enroute to NY. Philippe Maton de Wiltz from Luxembourg, who died 1632 in NY, has been identified by some as his father.
