There is a version of "Root Hog or Die" that is set in the Colorado rush of 1859. It doesn't seem to be among the various "root hogs" in the DT, so I will try to get it entered soon. It's got at least 9 verses so it's a bunch of key punching. "Root Hog or Die" was a popular minstrel show song in the 1850's and a number of lyric sets have used the song including several from the Civil War that are in the DT.
