My error- I skipped a line in the credit to Knibbs in the book by the Fifes. The ballad was copyright by Ida Julia Knibbs 1958 for the Houghton Mifflin printing of that date of "Songs of the Lost Frontier."
It should have read from "Songs of the Last Frontier," 1930, H-M Co.
I don't have information on hos poems published separately.
