In 2018, college student Robert Driver proposed renaming McKown's longspur... named for John P. McKown, who first collected a specimen of the species in 1851...before he fought in the Seminole Indian War... participated in an expedition against Mormons in Utah ... and before he became a general in the Confederate Army in 1861
