Hi,

"Over the hills and lofty mountings[mountains]" is also part of Bramble Briar text :)

The 1849 Silver Dagger version (above) is attributed to Sally Jenkins of Indiana. It's a bit suspicious that she hand-wrote the text. The article was reprinted from--N.Y. "Spirit of the Times" which means it's at least a year older.

Now if we can find the original print version!!!
