Fort Osage, Missouri

During the Lewis and Clark Expedition, William Clark identified a spot
on the Missouri River which he felt would make an ideal location for a
fort. After the Expedition he returned to this spot in 1808 and constructed
what would later become Fort Osage. The fort served as a strategic trading post and military outpost and garrison until it was abandoned in the mid-1820s.

Located in Sibley, Missouri, the fort today is operated by Jackson County
Parks and Recreation with a professional staff. The Fort Osage
Education Center opened in 2007 and features state-of-the-art exhibits,
classrooms, auditorium, special exhibit spaces and a gift shop.

"Boots" of "Boots and Her Buddies" comic strip fame

Ogden Standard Examiner (Ogden, Utah) July 11, 1933

Here she is, youngsters! “Boots,” the famous star of the comic strip, “Boots and Her Buddies,”
with two of the garments from her new summer outfit. The outfit will include 12 garments in all.
The water’s fine today, so her new bathing suits especially appeal to her. And now you can have
 the fun of trying them on “Boots” trim little figure. Just cut them out and color them.
Tomorrow (July 12) there will be two dresses for “Boots.” (See below)
