Who is this man McKenzie in North Dakota lore
Col Jounsber recounts the life of Alex McKenzie in North Dakota from 1878 onwards. He praises McKenzie as a diligent, temperate, helpful worker who rose from wheelbarrow delivery to railroad crew leader and state official. McKenzie shaped the capital’s fate, helped erect the prison and capitol commission, and stood for Bismarck interests against rivals while remaining loyal to Republican ideals.
