"[In the Aleutian Islands] our men started a stanza of 'Shenandoah I Love Your Daughter;' 'Ten Thousand Miles Away;' 'The Louisiana Lowlands;' 'Old Dog Tray,' etc., to the intense delight of the people, who capered around us after the approved scalp-dance of the North American Indians."
San Francisco Chronicle (Jan. 11, 1891): " 'Sheandoah, I love your daughter,' 'Give me some time to knock a man down,' 'Rio Grande,' and 'Homeward Bound' were the favorite 'shantys' of the old-time tar."
N.Y. Herald (Dec. 17, 1899):
"Oh, Shenandoah, I love your daughter! H-o-o-ray! the rolling river! I love her when I hadn't oughter - Ha! Ha! I'm bound away on the wide Missouri!"
