Foxes At Dubuque


Governor Clark's expedition left St. Louis about May first. At the mouth of Rock river, the Governor says, he met some disaffected Sacs and Foxes upon whom he fired; some canoes were taken, with the arms of the affrighted...[Native Americans], who sued for peace on any terms.




These Indians were Foxes and lived at Dubuque. Peace was promised them on condition they would join against the enemies of the United States and immediately commence hostilities against the Winnebagos, which they agreed to do. [Source]
