Subject: RE: Tune Req: black soldier and Mountain men Song

As for Mountainman Songs, anything you can think of that was current before 1840 works. For example certain versions of

Shenandoah
In Good Old Colony Days
The Fox
Pretty Polly
Barbara Allen
Eileen Aroon
Lord Bateman
Black Jack Davey
Jack Monroe
Anything written by Thomas Moore
Anything written by Robert Burns

That ought to get you started.
