Title: A worthwhile treatment of an obscure battle
Review: Writer and local historian Robert Dodsworth has written a worthy pamphlet describing the Battle of Wisconsin Heights, an important fight that occured on July 21, 1832 during the Black Hawk War. Drawing from more than the "usual" sources, Mr. Dodsworth presents the complexities of the run-up to the Black Hawk war in a readable and understandable fashion. His descriptions of the action and the battle's aftermath are balanced and interesting. Few errors mar this publication, although the reprinting of the artwork is not as crisp as it might otherwise be. As of this writing, Mr. Dodsworth has written the only balanced treatment exclusively devoted to this single battle. The pamphlet has been provided free of charge at Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources sites near the battle site.
