BLACK HAWK'S WATCH TOWER

The place known as Black Hawk's Watch Tower, now a noted summer resort, is situated on top of a high bluff overlooking Rock river, and 200 feet above the valley. From here a wide view is obtained for many miles up and down both the Mississippi and Rock river val­ leys, with the hills of the Iowa shore in the distance, which is very beautiful. It gains its name from the supposition that here the great chief kept an outlook for his enemies.
