In spring of 1861, the Indian Ahgamahwegezhig captured an eaglet near the South Fork of the Flambeau River, within the present day Chequamegon National Forest, east of Park Falls, Wisconsin.

At Jim Falls, he encountered Daniel McCann, to whom he sold the eagle for a bushel of corn.

[7] In turn, McCann sold the bird to soldiers of the 8th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment.
