Timehiker American heros who played music (53* d) RE: American heros who played music 20 Aug 00


Texas legend has it that the tune Crocket played during the seige of the Alamo was "Will You Come to the Bower". There were survivors of that battle, women and slaves, so news of what happened inside was known. Sam Houston had his fifer play the tune at the Battle of San Jacinto.

I believe that the fiddler for the Lewis and Clark expedition was York, Lewis' slave.

Take care
