See my current post on the thread "Song Info: Shenandoah." When it comes to songs, "many historians and re-enactors" who usually know better do sloppy research or none at all. They believe what they want to. They also often assume, as do many Mudcatters, that people in the past had almost the same folksong repertories as a '50s revival singer. I mentioned elsewhere the movie about CSS "Hunley" that had Yankee sailors singing "Fiddlers Green," which a Southerner then described as an old Irish song his mother had sung to him! Off by only 100 years, fellows! JL
