Hi,

I contacted Dartmouth and they no longer have a copy of 1823 Green Mountain. They said to contact Vermont Historical Society- so I did- waiting to hear back.

I've found some interesting information on Geordie and need help sorting some of it out. Does anyone have Bob Coltman's email? I guess I could PM him on Mudcat. Need info on McAllister versions.

Does anyone have the informant's name for Niles 1932 version. An identical version has surfaced from KY (Roberts) and both are similar to Russell's 1936 recording and other Virginia versions.

Here's what I have so far:
