Accordingly about the 20th of September, 1832, a treaty was held between General Scott, General Dodge and other officers of the United States, and Black Hawk, Decorah, Hole in the Day, and Keokuk, principal chiefs, assembled at Eock Island, and witnessed by the writer, by which the title of these Indian tribes was transferred to the United States.

Immediately after the Treaty of 1832, the volunteer forces enlisted in the Black Hawk War disbanded.

Capt.

Boone s Company, to which I belonged, being enlisted for a year in the United States Service, was now ordered to re- port to Col.

Arbuckle, colonel commanding the post at Little Eock, Arkansas, and thitherward we took up our line of march in October passing down and crossing the Missis- sippi at Quincy, Illinois.
