From this point General Atkinson sent, for the first time, the regular army in pursuit of Black Hawk. They, however, veered too far north, as they fell for Black Hawk's strategy, thus allowing the militia to encounter the Indians in Battle Hollow.

Grateful appreciation is given to Dr. C.V. Porter whose hard work and dedication preserved this segment of history for all.

The State of Wisconsin recognizes Dr. Porter's markers as part of Vernon County history but does not condone the language or prejudicial inferences used on some of the markers. Dr. Porter used descriptive, interpretative language which he researched and felt was acceptable for his time.
