Nicolay Peter Drejer
Nicolay Peter Dreyer was a Norwegian military officer with the rank of Captain. He was born in Fosnes. He became a legend during the Battle of Trangen on 25 April 1808, leading his infantry regiment first from a roof, then from a tree stump with the height of a man. The stump was later named after him, a series of myths developed after his death, and he became a national symbol in 1814 and in 1905.
