Battle of the Sink-Hole in Missouri Frontier History
In May 1815, near Fort Howard in present Lincoln County, Missouri, a clash between American Rangers and Native forces led by Captain Craig ended with a siege at a sinkhole. Black Hawk was among the defenders, and Lieutenant Spears’ improvised battery failed to rout the Indians. Sixteen to twenty whites died or were wounded. Indian losses were implied.
