Sam Hall was one of Carl Sandburg's favorite songs. When I was a freshman in high school in '62, Carl came for an assembly. The Folks in Charge probably thought he would give an academic talk on poetry, but he brought his guitar and sang Sam Hall and cowboy songs. Who knows, if he had been around longer, maybe he'd have been on Hootenanny.
Glad to know the history of the song.
