Henry Berry Lowry (c. 1845 – unknown after 1872) was an American outlaw of Lumbee and mulatto descent.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8] He led the Lowry Gang in North Carolina during and after the American Civil War. Many local North Carolinians remember him as a Robin Hood figure. Lowry was described by George Alfred Townsend, a correspondent for the New York Herald in the late 19th century, as "[o]ne of those remarkable executive spirits that arises now and then in a raw community without advantages other than those given by nature."[9]
