John Hardeman Walker is responsible for the boot heel of Missouri. Walker was born in Tennessee in 1794 and came to the New Madrid area of the territory of Missouri at the age 16. When earthquakes happened almost everyone moved away from the area. John stayed and raised his cattle and became known as the "czar of the valley". in 1821 they got the boot heel
