Subject: RE: Anachronistic Music in Movies
I completly enjoyed the "Hell on Wheels" yarn about the cross continental railway presented by Netflix.
However, my skin crawled when a queer presentation, in a bar-room, was sung with tune and verses written decades later. The song, "I Come to the Garden Alone," was included by purpose and not accident.
"In the Garden" (sometimes rendered by its first line "I Come to the Garden Alone" is a gospel song written by American songwriter C. Austin Miles (1868–1946).
The railroad line was constructed between 1863 and 1869.
