- Henry Dodge was a Democratic member of the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate, Territorial Governor of Wisconsin and a veteran of the Black Hawk War. His son was Augustus C. Dodge with whom he served in the U.S. Senate, the first, and so far only, father-son pair to serve concurrently. Henry Dodge was the half brother of Lewis F. Linn. James Clarke, the Governor of Iowa Territory, was the son-in-law of Henry Dodge. Though was born in Vincennes, Indiana, he was raised a Kentuckian. Circumstance drove him to Spanish Missouri at an early age, where he rejoined his father Israel and an uncle. He dabbled in salt boiling and lead digging, and served as deputy sheriff of Ste. Genevieve County under his father. In 1801, he married Christiana McDonald. During the War of 1812, Dodge was first elected as captain of a mounted company; he finished the war as a major general of the Missouri militia. His crowning achievement was saving about 150 Miami Indians from certain massacre after their raid on the Boone's Lick settlement in the summer of 1814. Dodge emigrated with his large family and slaves inherited from his father to the U.S. Mineral District in early July 1827. He served as a commander of militia during the Red Bird uprising of that year, and in October settled a large tract in present day downtown Dodgeville, known then as "Dodge's Camp. " He worked a large claim until around 1830, when he moved several miles south in a beautiful forested area known still as "Dodge's Grove. " Here he began building what would become a large two-story frame house for his ever growing extended family. Fate however took a hand, and Dodge rose to prominence during the Black Hawk War of 1832. As colonel of the western Michigan Territory militia, Dodge brought a credible fighting force into being in a very short time. More than fifteen forts, fortified homes and blockhouses sprang up almost overnight. From these forts, Dodge and the mounted volunteers, with four companies of Territorial militia and one of Illinois mounted rangers, took to the field as the "Michigan Mounted Volunteers. " Dodge and his men saw action at the battles of Horseshoe Bend, Wisconsin Heights, and Bad Axe. In June 1832, he accepted a commission as Major (United States) of the Regiment of Mounted Rangers, commissioned by an Act of Congress. The ranger experiment lasted a year, and then, in 1833, was replaced by the United States Regiment of Dragoons. Dodge served as colonel; one of his captains was Nathan Boone, Daniel Boone's youngest son. In the summer of 1834, Dodge engaged on a series of long marches and made successful contact with the Comanches. He was a renowned Indian fighter, most noted for his 1835 peace mission commissioned by President Andrew Jackson, who had called out the U.S. Dragoons to assist. Dodge was the first Territorial Governor of Wisconsin Territory from 1836 - 1841 and again from 1845 - 1848, an area which encompassed (before December 28, 1846, when Iowa became a state) what became the states of Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota. He declined a nomination for the Presidency of the United States in the 1844 Democratic National Convention. He was loyal to Martin Van Buren and both men opposed the annexation of Texas. Despite their efforts, James K. Polk, the Democrat who favored annexation, became President. Upon Wisconsin being admitted to the Union, Dodge was elected one of its first two senators. He served two terms. He turned down the appointment of Territorial Governor of Washington from Franklin Pierce in 1857. In 1948, Iowa County presented a 160-acre (0.6 km) estate to the State of Wisconsin which eventually was named Governor Dodge State Park. Over the years, this park has grown to include 5,270 acres (21 km) in the area Henry Dodge once called his home. Also, Dodge County, Wisconsin was named after Dodge.

- Henry Dodge, född 12 oktober 1782 i Vincennes, Indiana, död 19 juni 1867 i Burlington, Iowa, var en amerikansk politiker. Dodge växte upp i Kentucky men flyttade 1796 till Missouri, som då tillhörde Spanien, där hans far Israel Dodge arbetade med saltframställning och blyutvinning. Dodge hade ingen egentlig militär utbildning. Hans militära bana började som frivillig i 1812 års krig där han valdes till kapten av manskapet i ett kompani frivilliga i Missourimilisen som bildats av s k minutemen. I april 1813 befordrades han till major i milisen och i augusti 1814 till överstelöjtnant med befäl för en bataljon "beridet infanteri", d v s dragoner. Dodges militära karriär omfattande, trots en sen överstetitel i den reguljära armén, med undantag av de fyra sista åren uteslutande tjänstgöring i tillfälliga territoriella milisenheter. Det var i ett sådant sammahang Dodge lade grunden för sin politiska karriär. Han hade befälet över Michiganterritoriets milis som extraordinarie överste 1832 när det s k Black Hawk-kriget mot Sauk- och Fox-indianerna utbröt. Dodge organiserade snabbt försvaret och deltog med framgång i de avgörande striderna. Efter kriget utsågs han till major i United States Rangers, vilket vid 50 års ålder inledde hans korta bana i den reguljära armén. När USA:s första reguljära hästburna regemente, US Regiment of Dragoons, bildades 1833 fick Dodge tjänsten som överste. Hans första och enda stora uppdrag i den rollen blev att under 1834 marschera in på indianernas områden för att ordna en serie möten med olika indianstammar, bl a kiowaer och comancher, för att få dem att skriva på fredsavtal. Dodge tog avsked 1836 med överstes grad. Dodge var därefter i två omgångar guvernör för Wisconsinterritoriet, 1836-41 och 1845-48. Han tackade 1844 nej till att ställa upp som det demokratiska partiets presidentkandidat, eftersom han motsatte sig partiets huvudlinje gällande anslutandet av Texas till USA, vilket Dodge var en kompromisslös motståndare till. När delstaten Wisconsin bildades 1848 kandiderade och invaldes Henry Dodge till posten som senator för Wisconsin. Han var senator 1848–1857 och satt således i senaten samtidigt med sin son Augustus Caesar Dodge (1812-83) som var senator för Iowa 1846-55. Henry Dodge avböjde 1857 ett erbjudande av president Franklin Pierce att bli guvernör för Washingtonterritoriet med hänvisning till sin ålder (75 år) och drog sig tillbaka från det offentliga livet.
