The Expedition Against the Sauk and Fox Indians 1832 by Henry SmithSac and Fox Indians in Kansas by C. R. GreenThe Great Indian Chief of the West: or, Life and Adventures of Black Hawk by Benjamin DrakeNarrative of the Capture and Providential Escape of Misses Frances and Almira Hall by William EdwardsThe Black Hawk War from the perspectives of those involvedThis book contains four accounts of the Black Hawk War on the American frontier of 1832. The so called 'British Band' of Sauk and Fox Indians, under the leadership of the war chief Black Hawk, were moving across the Mississippi River from the Iowa Territory into Illinois. According to authorities on the subject, the band was attempting to avoid bloodshed by this migration to what they hoped would be a more secure location, but their actions were misconstrued by local settlers and a militia was sent out to deal with them. This unit pre-emptively attacked the Indian band which fiercely fought back, defeating the militia at the 'Battle of Stillman's Run'. The conflict then escalated as other tribes began raiding in the area while Black Hawk and his warriors moved into the southern Wisconsin Territory. An army force under Colonel Henry Dodge caught up with the 'British Band' and defeated it at the 'Battle of Wisconsin Heights' forcing it to retreat. The Indians were finally defeated at the 'Battle of Bad Axe' after which Black Hawk escaped but was later captured and briefly imprisoned. The four accounts here give a flavour of the times of these events in several ways. Readers will discover the military expedition from the perspective of those who campaigned, hear the voices of settlers whose fear and hatred of the Indians was palpable, understand the conflict from the perspective of Black Hawk and his followers and gain an insight into a common factor of the wars between the pioneers and the Indian tribes--that of the capture and abduction of settler women and children.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.

In this work Henry Smith explains Daniel 4:29-34 concerning the life and actions of king Nebuchadnezzar. Though this work is insightful into the manner of kings and magistrates, it is also extremely helpful on the sin of pride, which every Christian struggles to overcome. Nebuchadnezzar boasts, and demonstrates his pride over the "city he built" and then is brought low like a beast until God graciously delivers him. His deliverance is marked with looking up to heaven while spending time in the wilderness among the animals as a beast, and acknowledges that God is the one true Most high above all men. This is a classic work that will humble the Christian. This is not a scan or facsimile, and contains an active table of contents for electronic versions.

This volume entitled, "The Calling, Rebellion and Punishment of Jonah, and Other Sermons," demonstrates Smith's keen intellect and practical observations in four sermons on the Prophet Jonah, as well as twenty-six other sermons on various subjects such as contentment, temptation, pride, righteousness and the way to heaven. Also is included a number of morning and evening prayers, and other short works that demonstrate the truths of Jesus Christ contained in the Holy Scriptures. All of these works have been updated to reflect modern language without losing Smith's eloquence or power in preaching. This work is a must read for lovers of Puritanism, practical preaching and biblical doctrine. This is not a scan or facsimile.
