Soldiers Grove Library Program--6/19By borges, Section Library
Robert "Ernie" Boszhardt, popular historian and archaeologist with the Mississippi Valley Archeology Center of La Crosse, will show a documentary film and host a discussion about Black Hawk, his people and the war against them, in a return visit to the Soldiers Grove Library on Tuesday, June 19, at 7pm.
The program is free of charge and open to all. Wisconsin towns and villages have received their names in various interesting ways, and Soldiers Grove was so named for an encampment of Soldiers among a Grove of pine trees along the Kickapoo River. In 1832, that's 175 years ago, these cavalrymen were in pursuit of a band of Indians lead by the legendary Sauk War Chief, Black Sparrow Hawk. This notorious chase and the skirmishes that ensued have come to be known in history as the Black Hawk War.
