Norths and Their Pawnee Scouts
In Grinnell’s introduction to Two Great Scouts and Their Pawnee Nation, Capt. Luther H. North and Frank North are hailed as the era’s premier frontier scouts. The piece traces Luther’s near death escape from Sioux war parties, their Pawnee allies, and the North brothers’ pivotal role protecting railroad builders during the Union Pacific era, with vivid episodes from battles and county to Fort Kearney.
