"Entire Civilization of Black Hawk War", or, "We Apologize the Manner Whose Feeling is Good for Inconvenience, Demolish Still Concerning You Yourself of Morning, but Now You Must go Away, Probably Will Be," or "Depending upon Me Separated from Our Lands! Until it is, the Large Knife Fights, Those Continues to Fight."

Do to Come! Feel Illinoise!
