- "William Clark was a red-headed boy from Virginia.[...] The Indians called Saint Louis "Red Head’s Town" because Clark lived there." http://www.sd4history.com/unit2/William_Clark.htm

- “It is significant of his repute among [Indians],” Coues continued, “that St. Louis was for them
simply the Red-head’s town.” http://www.lewisandclark.org/wpo/pdf/vol40no2.pdf
