The Black Jack Battlefield and Nature Park is being developed on the site of the Battle of Black Jack, June 2, 1856. The goal is to protect it from the suburban growth that threatens to destroy the very land where John Brown and Henry Clay Pate fought the first battle in the conflict that was the American Civil War.
