Within walking distance... The Apple River Fort was the site of an important battle during the Black Hawk War. In 1832, the settlers of the fort turned back an attack by some 200 Sauk and Fox warriors led by Black Hawk. Abraham Lincoln and his militia company arrived at the fort a day after the battle.
Where was that first one taken?
