Brad Jorgensen

Brad Jorgensen (died 1868) was an American settler in Texas and a deputized member of the Texas Rangers during the Texas-Indian Wars. The son of Lars Jorgensen and the brother of Laurie Jorgensen, he was romantically involved with Lucy Edwards before she was kidnapped by the Comanche in 1868. Jorgensen partook in a posse's efforts to find her, but, on learning from Ethan Edwards that Lucy had been found dead and violated, a depressed Jorgensen suicidally rode towards the Comanche camp by himself and was shot dead.
