Pierre Cruzatte
About Pierre Cruzatte :
Join Lewis and Clark’s trusted river man, guide, Indian translator, woodsman and fiddler on their extraordinary expedition to the Pacific Coast!
Recorded as one of the favorites on this remarkable journey you will hear Pierre Cruzatte’s unique perspective on leadership, espirit de corps, courage, stamina, and sheer determination against relentless obstacles of daily survival surrounded by wondrous splendor!
Born to French and Omaha Indian heritage and half blind, this humorous and amiable corps member, with young Sacajawea (newborn on her back) courageously saved the expedition from certain tragedy and potential failure by preventing the sinking of a critical supply boat, saved the life of his friend by killing an attacking grizzly and accidentally shot Capt. Lewis in the buttocks!
Portrayed by Lamar Banister, he will grab your imagination and take you on an exciting journey you won’t forget. His talented and multifaceted presentation even offers demonstrations on Cruzatte’s flintlock rifle, tomahawk and knife throwing, use of accoutrements and musical instruments common to the frontiersmen of the period. You haven’t enjoyed anything quite like this!
