    Henry Dodge (1782–1867)

    Henry Dodge served his nation in a long and prosperous life on the nineteenth-century frontier. At an early age he established himself as a strong military leader and skillful negotiator. He served with distinction during the War of 1812 and the Winnebago and Black Hawk Wars, and led the first regiment of mounted US Dragoons. Although renowned for his military exploits, Dodge also possessed adept political skills and served as the first territorial, later state, governor of Wisconsin; he also held office in the US House of Representatives and Senate during the fractious 1850s. Dodge lived most of his life in Wisconsin, but he learned important economic and political lessons as a young adult in Missouri.

    Nancy Hunter Dodge gave birth to Henry in the area of Vincennes, Indiana, on October 12, 1782. He remained with her until the age of fourteen, when legend recounts that he fled for his life after interceding in an Indian attack upon a young woman. By 1796
