The Battle of Wisconsin Heights was the penultimate engagement of the 1832 Black Hawk War, fought between the United States state militia and allies, and the Sauk and Fox tribes, led by Black Hawk. The battle took place in what is now Dane County, near present-day Sauk City, Wisconsin. Despite being vastly outnumbered and sustaining heavy casualties, Black Hawk's warriors managed to delay the combined government forces long enough to allow the majority of the Sauk and Fox civilians in the group to escape across the Wisconsin River. This reprieve was temporary; when the militia finally caught up with the fleeing band it resulted in the Bad Axe massacre at the mouth of the Bad Axe River.

  • La bataille de Wisconsin Heights est l'un des derniers affrontements de la guerre de Black Hawk de 1832 qui oppose un groupe de Sauks et de Mesquakies mené par le chef Black Hawk à des unités de milice américaines. La bataille a lieu le 21 juillet 1832 dans l'actuel comté de Dane au Wisconsin. Bien que surpassés en nombre et subissant des pertes importantes, les guerriers de Black Hawk parviennent à retenir les forces adverses suffisamment longtemps pour permettre à la majorité des non-combattants de leur groupe de s'échapper en traversant le Wisconsin. La milice finit par rattraper les Amérindiens, conduisant au massacre de Bad Axe au confluent de la (en) et à la reddition de Black Hawk. (fr)
