On Aug. 13, 1849, Minnesota Territory's first court session was held in Stillwater. And according to the Minnesota Historical Society's Book of Days, only one man on the jury wore boots — everyone else had moccasins.Just look at how far we've come. Nobody wears moccasins anymore... we report for jury duty in flip-flops!
