Lief Crozier, the Nor'wester
I mentioned in the previous post (assuming you're reading these in chronological order) that I've recently begun reading the book Denny's Trek. It includes a list of the gentlemen that began the march west in 1874.
Using that list as a reference, I searched the name Lief N. F. Crozier in a newspaper archive and came across an interesting series that appeared in the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix throughout 1985, celebrating 100 years of the northwest rebellion. Crozier was awarded a spotlight among the various people that were featured every few days in that paper that year. His entry is displayed below.
I understand that these are geared towards the northwest rebellion in particular but still find it strange that his participation in the march west is not mentioned. In any event, if I come across other such profiles for member of the NWMP at the time, I'll be sure to add them here.
