During a Jennison raid in Jackson County and Independence, Jennison's right hand man Joseph P. Swain "was immediately taken with a pile of red-dyed sheepskins that occupied one of the cobbler's shelves, which Duke [Joseph P. Duke] used as a decorative topping for the high boots he made. Jennison's men immediately appropriated the red sheepskins, and fashioned them into pairs of leggings."
