Claremore Mound, a hill in present-day Rogers County, Oklahoma, is the site of the Battle of Strawberry Moon where in 1817 a band Cherokees under Chief Spring Frog (Too-an-tuh) wiped out Chief Clermont's band of Osage Indians. The mound and the nearby city were both named in honor of Chief Clermont.
