GUEST,Ron Mullennex Tune Req: Across the Blue Mountains (36) RE: Tune Req: Across the Blue Mountains 12 Jan 22


The Blue Mountain (not Blue Ridge Mountains) lies west of Philadelphia. Pioneers crossed it through one of the gaps to reach the Allegheny ( or to travel up the Shenandoah valley on the Great Wagon Road ). I don’t see any connection to the Blue Ridge Mountains range of WV and VA and points southwest, other than one of the areas where the song was collected.
