Biography[]

Crocker's body
Timothy Crocker was one of William Walker's most valued lieutenants, serving as a mercenary captain during the Sonora expedition of 1853. During that expedition, Walker had him sound the call to retreat after the Mexican Army was sent in to crush the Republic of Sonora, and Crocker and Walker returned to California with the rest of the expedition's surviving members. In 1855, Crocker took part in another expedition, this time to Nicaragua, where he became a citizen. At the First Battle of Rivas on 29 June 1855, he was mortally wounded by Conservative Party of Nicaragua soldiers, and a dying Crocker insulted Walker, saying that he would get himself and all of his men killed. Walker, saddened that Crocker insulted him, reasoned that this meant that they would meet again, and Walker then marched off. Crocker, furious, attempted to shoot Walker, but he bled out and died before he could do so.
