href="/wiki/Black_Hawk_War" title="Black Hawk War">Black Hawk War</a>. In the first incident, area residents attributed the killing of a miner to a band of <a href="/wiki/Ho-Chunk" title="Ho-Chunk">Ho-Chunk</a> warriors, and concluded that more Ho-Chunk planned to join <a href="/wiki/Black_Hawk_(chief)" class="mw-redirect" title="Black Hawk (chief)">Black Hawk</a> in his war against <a href="/wiki/European_colonization_of_the_Americas" title="European colonization of the Americas">white settlers</a>. The second incident occurred east of the fort as a <a href="/wiki/Sauk_people" title="Sauk people">Sauk</a> raiding party, estimated by eyewitnesses to be as large as 100 warriors, attacked two militiamen who were investigating noises heard the night before. Two members of the militia stationed at <a href="/wiki/Blue_Mounds_Fort" title="Blue Mounds Fort">Blue Mounds</a> were killed in the attack, and both their bodies were badly mutilated. </p><p>The attacks followed an increase in tension after the Hall sisters were released at <a href="/wiki/Blue_Mounds_Fort" title="Blue Mounds Fort">Fort Blue Mounds</a> on June 1. The sisters had been kidnapped during the <a href="/wiki/Indian_Creek_massacre" title="Indian Creek massacre">Indian Creek massacre</a> in May and were brought to Blue Mounds by a party of Ho-Chunk. Militia leader <a href="/wiki/Henry_Dodge" title="Henry Dodge">Henry Dodge</a> became suspicious of the Ho-Chunk and took them prisoner, though they were later released as tension between the Ho-Chunk and white settlers increased. The attacks also lent credence to the belief that more Ho-Chunk were set to join Black Hawk's war against white settlers in <a href="/wiki/Illinois" title="Illinois">Illinois</a> and <a href="/wiki/Michigan_Territory" title="Michigan Territory">Michigan Territory</a>. Though other attacks on the fort were expected, they never happened and Fort Blue Mounds served as a supply center for the remaining days of the war. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Background">Background</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Attacks_at_Fort_Blue_Mounds&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Background"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>As a consequence of an 1804 treaty between the <a href="/wiki/Governor" title="Governor">Governor</a> of <a href="/wiki/Indiana_Territory" title="Indiana Territory">Indiana Territory</a> and a group of <a href="/wiki/Sauk_people" title="Sauk people">Sauk</a> and <a href="/wiki/Fox_(tribe)" class="mw-redirect" title="Fox (tribe)">Fox</a> leaders regarding land settlement the Sauk and Fox tribes vacated their lands in <a href="/wiki/Illinois" title="Illinois">Illinois</a> in 1828 and moved west of the <a href="/wiki/Mississippi_River" title="Mississippi River">Mississippi River</a>.
