Kansas City Star (May 13, 1914): “In the dances before the Civil War, the repertoire of the [Indiana] country dance fiddler was made up of ‘Hell on the Wabash,’ ‘Old Zip Coon,’ ‘The Stump-Tailed Dog,’ ‘The Devil’s Dream,’ ‘One-Eyed Riley,’ and ‘Go to the Devil and Shake Yourself.’” The Winner-Haverty-Eliot tune family doesn't seem very well suited to dancing, though Masters' tune does.
