Il would rather lose a third of my
army than TO have Frank Gruard
killed." once declared Gen. Frank
Crook, and when this great Indian
fighter set such a high value on the
services of a scout ii meant that
Frank Gruard was without a peer.
Gruard was born in Tahiti in 1850,
the son of an American trader and a
native woman. His father returned
10 this country when Frank was but
two years old and at the age of 6f-
teen Frank ran away from home and
went 10 Montana.
Gruard became mail carrier, n
dangerous job in u country full of hos
tile Sioux. They captured him finally
and were preparing to kill him when
young brave pleaded for his life.
Calling their attention to Franks
swarthy complexion he declared that
the mail carrier must he an Indian
who had been captured by the whites.
This Indian was The renowned Sit
ting Bull. For 10 months Gruard was
guarded closely and, realizing the use
lessness OF attempting TO escape, he
learned the Sioux tongue and entered
into The Indian life as one of them.
He lived with the Indians six years
before he finally escaped.
one day Gruard was scouting for
an officer who attempted TO guide his
command by use Of the compass. They
became lost In ii binding snow storm.
Frank borrowed the officers compass.

taking the lead. he guided the soldiers
straight To the place they wished to
go.
Gruard's greatest exploit was his
part In the "Sibley Scout" in 1876.
Lieut.. =. w. Sibley was sent out on
scout TO find the Indians. He found
them. and In short time his little
command was surrounded by hun
drcds Of Sioux and Cheyennes. After

around high peaks. until the Indians
were outdistanced. The next day he

Franz Gruard was given a lifetime
position as government scout and
he performed valuable services In the
last uprising Of the Sioux, the Ghost

he had run away from home. Gruard
