Old Drum, 1870
Black & Tan Coon Dog
Old Drum was made famous when he was shot and killed by the
owner's  neighbor in Johnson Co. Missouri in 1869. The Civil War had
just ended a few years earlier.  Bitter feelings towards others were
still felt in Missouri.  This event may have helped steamed the incident.
In 1870, a famous trial ensued at the old courthouse. The
courthouse is still standing, and is now a museum in Warrensburg.  
Attorney George Vest gave a closing argument that is still read today.
There was hardly a dry eye in the courtroom.  Stop by to learn more
about Old Drum here at the gallery.
