Abstract: This book tells of the life of Frank J. North who first pioneered cattle ranching in Nebraska's Great Sandhill Grassland and earlier has been the organizer and commander of the renowned Pawnee Scouts of the regular U.S. Army. The Pawnees of Nebraska Territory, serving under North's command variously as a battalion of four companies and in smaller numbers of companies, were the first Indians to be regimented by the government.
