On November 10, 1808, the American militia and the chiefs from the Little Osage and Big Osage nations celebrated.

Once asked to name the ten best female singers, the renowned musical producer Billy Rose replied, "There is Jane Froman and nine others." A legend in her time, Jane Froman (1907-1980) was one of Missouri’s greatest success stories.
