Overview

Among the tales of danger and heroism that have come down to us from pioneer days on the Nebras-ka prairie is this remarkable true story. Two brothers, caught in a hayfield when the Indians raided their central Nebraska farmstead in 1864, dashed for home on the back of their pony. Robert, the younger brother, held himself bravely on the horse s bare back even though Indian arrows had pierced each thigh. Nathaniel, a few years older, took an arrow in his back, which hit with such force that it came through his chest and into his younger brother s back. Now, impaled with the same arrow, the two boys fled for their lives.
These boys, the Martin Brothers, are the subject of two life-sized bronze statues, one of which stands on the grounds of the Stuhr Museum, and the other in front of the Hastings Museum. And this is their story."
