I have seen the posts below, regarding, Wild Rose of the Mountain." I know the post is old, however, I want people to know that my GrandFather, Jesse Large, a fiddler from Ohio, wrote the song about my GrandMother. He played with a lot of the famous fiddler's which included JP Fraley. Mr. Fraley references him when playing some of his songs which include "Goin' back to Kentucky". My Grandfather was the local fiddler and my Grandmother was the gal who went from dance to dance, (following him and playing hard to get). She always laughed when she told us that she finally got his full attention one time at a dance held in Pine Creek, Ohio. She was squaredancing in a circle and kicked her shoe into the air, landing it right against him!
