Subject: RE: Distortion of History in Folk Song
There's a Civil WAr song about the Battle of Pea Ridge (Arkansas) that has Sterling "Pap" Price getting kilt, but that ain't what happened. I think Price survived the war but I'm not 100% sure. (His sword is in the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond, for anybody who cares.)
