Fort Hartsuff in Ord Nebraska A Forgotten 1870s Post
In Ord Nebraska local historian Horace Davis notes Fort Hartsuff near the North Loup valley was built in the 1870s to deter Indian attacks and aid settlers during hard times. The post saw no direct battles, was abandoned in 1881, and today its remaining walls frame the landscape eight miles north of Ord across the river from Elvira.
