Thanks, Barry! I love reading the stories behind the songs. I will have to find an old newspaper article I found one day at the library. I was looking at microfilm to find an article about my great-granddad's shoot-out. Anyway, the article was about some cowboys and cowmen going after some renegade Utes, down in the area near this song's origin. The time of the article was just about when the story of the song is from. As soon as I find the copy I made, I will check it for some of the names in the song's origins. Who knows? Could have been some of the same folks.

I thought I remembered that "galluses" were suspenders. Just checked and found out I remembered correctly.:-)
