Another suggested theory of origin is related to a story about a discharged US Army dragoon by the name of Joseph Moore. He bought the land and then had First Sergeant Tom Weston of D Company, First Dragoons, stationed at Fort Leavenworth across the Missouri River, lay out a town plan.

In 1881, Weston was the site o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
