Biography:
When Don Rosa created Clinton Coot he named him after the president of the USA at that time (Bill Clinton).
Clinton Coot was born ca. 1830 in Duckburg? In A little something special Don Rosa shows that Clinton Coot during the second half of the 19th century, ran his own store called "Coot's Emporium". From there he sold ice-cream, etc.
Clinton Coot was very interested in the nature - an interest probably inherited from his mother who Don Rosa says probably was an Indian squaw, and in science. He also learned very much from a book he once got from his father Cornelius Coot, who once found the book in a tight box in a secret room beneath Fort Duckburg.
In 1901 he founded The Junior Woodchucks organisation to promote his interests for the nature and to ensure that the book ended up in safe hands after his death. The organisation was named after the Woodchuck militia which was disbanded shortly before. Like the old militia The Junior Woodchucks were supposed to use Fort Duckburg as their headquarters.
