Did Jefferson Davis fight in the blackhawk war?

In 1824 Jefferson Davis entered West Point. After graduating from West Point he served at several different forts. In 1832 Jefferson Davis was at Fort Crawford where the Colonel made Jefferson his aide. That Colonel was Zachary Taylor, future president of the United States. During this time the US government ordered Chief Black Hawk to move his village to the other side of the Mississippi. Chief Black Hawk refused and the Black Hawk War began. Zachary Taylor asked for volunteers to serve for 30 days. One of those volunteers was Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln reenlisted for another 30 days. Lincoln said he did not see a single Indian during this 60 days. At the end of his 60 days, Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis found each other and reminisced about fishing together on Knob Creek. Davis didn't see any action. He was responsible for escorting the captured Black Hawk and his people to Jefferson Barracks. Chief Black Hawk said Lieut. Jefferson Davis, " treated us all with much kindness. He is a good and brave young chief, with whose conduct I was much pleased". Altogether Davis served 7 years in the military. Three years after the Black Hawk War, Davis quit the service because his lover, the daughter of Zachary Taylor, Sarah Knox, would not marry a soldier. Jefferson Davis went on to become the secretary of War for the United States.
