==History==
''The Crusader'' was created in 1931 by Lorado Taft.〔 In Chicago's historic Graceland Cemetery, it is a monument intended to memorialize Victor F. Lawson (1850–1925), the publisher of the ''Chicago Daily News''.〔 The ''Chicago Daily News'' was founded by Melville E. Stone, Percy Meggy and William Dougherty in 1875.〔Scott, Frank William, and Edmund Janes James. ''Newspapers and Periodicals of Illinois, 1814-1879'', ((Google Books link )), Harvard University, 1910, p. 127.〕 In July 1876, Lawson invested money into the publication, which was struggling, and became its business manager. By the 1890s, the paper had reached a circulation of 200,000 people. Lawson remained involved with the paper until 1925.〔Nord, David Paul. "Lawson, Victor Fremont".
