A fact from Joseph McCoy appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 4 March 2006. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Joseph McCoy was a 19th century cattle baron who is often cited as the inspiration for the phrase "The Real McCoy" because he made good on his pledge to Texas ranchers to get them a good price for their Longhorn cattle if they drove them from Texas to Kansas on the Chisholm Trail?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2006/March.
