Gabriel Dumont

Gabriel Dumont was born in the December of 1837, in the Red River Settlement of Manitoba. He was the son of Isidore Dumont and Louise Laframboise. He was his parents’ second son. He married Madeleine Wilkie in 1858.
Dumont is remembered mostly by the role he played during the Northwest Rebellion of 1885, as the general of Louis Riel. During the rebellion Dumont was able to lead the Metis people to battles in the fight for their rights to the land that they had lived on. He planned many important battles and was able to help promote his cause. However he was not that successful. Many of his important battles against the Mounted Police of the Northwest ended in defeat for his side, and many of his people were killed. However, despite his losses, many remember him as the last great chief because during his time he was able to use his links of kinship to help promote his cause for arms.
There are other things that Gabriel Dumont did after the war, for instance he was a speaker in Montreal in 1888.
He died suddenly while visiting his nephew on May 19, 1906, for what people think was a heart attack. Gabriel Dumont might not have been as famous as Louis Reil for his part in the Northwest Rebellion of 1885, but he did play a key part and we need to appreciate that.

This criminal was born on November 4, 1825; his parents Major-General Charles Middleton and Fanny Wheatley are also wanted for their involvement with this known criminal.
People are warned to be careful as this criminal is very dangerous and has had plenty of military background before the war, such as schooling in the Royal Military College in England. You are not advised to take him on alone. His past with the many different places, such as India and England, and his many different positions in certain posts during his career is clearly to his advantage and we suggest that he be taken down groups.
He is a merciless killer who has, with his men, killed hundreds of our men and women in the war, and wounded more than countable! He must be taken down at all costs. He is a danger to our existence and our future.
Middleton was believed to a man of self-confidence, very self-centered and very greedy. Asides from the war crimes he is wanted on, he is also rumored to have stolen belongings of his captive and people of lower rank [which eventually led to his disownment from the military].
It is rumored that he died in the tower of London, but we are unsure. If such is the case than we are still offering the reward money for his corpse or head.
