GUEST,moosish Origins: Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie (120* d) RE: Origins: Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie 10 Mar 09

I was curious about the origins of this song, since it was sung by a character in a chapter of the classic book "My Antonia." The book was written in 1918 by Willa Cather. It takes place in the Midwest, so the mention you referenced about having heard it originally sung in Nebraska approx. 1850 makes sense. Thanks for your info!
