Author Kimberly Harper announces her second book, “Men of No Reputation: Robert Boatright, the Buckfoot Gang, and the Fleecing of Middle America,” is now available.
Boatright and his gang of confidence men, operating out of Webb City at the turn of the century, swindled dozens of victims out of millions of dollars on fixed foot races, prize fights, and even a rigged bicycle race. A further description and opportunity to buy the book are on Amazon.
Harper’s first book, “White Men’s Heaven: The Lynching and Expulsion of Blacks in the Southern Ozarks, 1894-1909,” earned the Missouri Humanities Council Distinguished Achievement in Literature (Non-Fiction) Award.

After a tour of the orchard and completion of the clinic, the tour will continue at Bishop’s Garden at 103 Enterprise Street in Exeter where a high tunnel strawberry production tour will start at approximately 10:30 a.m. The tour will end by noon.
Leaders of the tour are Patrick Byers, University of Missouri Extension horticulture specialist, Lesa Queen, Lincoln University Cooperative Extension Farm Outreach Worker, and Angela Brattin, organizer and farmer presenter.
No registration is required.
The tour is underwritten by a specialty crops grant from the Missouri Department of Agriculture and sponsored by LU and MU Extension and the Webb City Farmers Market.
