Old Drum, 1870
Black & Tan Coon Dog
Old Drum was made famous when he  
was shot and killed by the owner's  
neighbor in what is now Cass Co.
Missouri.  In 1870, a famous trial
ensued at the old courthouse . The
courthouse is still standing, and is now
a museum in Warrensburg, Missouri.  
The phrase "Man's Best Friend" was
coined at the trial.
