West Point Lieutenant Farrow’s victory over Nez Perce scouts
A New Jersey real estate operator Edward Farrow died of apoplexy in Columbus Avenue New York. The local follow-up recalls Farrow as a West Point graduate and Civil War era officer who led Indian scouts against the Sheepeaters in the Salmon River mountains, forcing surrender after a grueling campaign and delivering prisoners of war to Vancouver barracks.
