Thread Name: Roddy McCorley: date of origin ?
Subject: RE: Roddy McCorley: date of origin ?
Incidentally it can get confusing, because Ethna Carbery was born Anna Johnston, so that name gets attached to it as well.

But either way, the songs of a lady born in 1866 will never have been sung in the US Civil War, unless Dr Who has got into the act somehwere.

But you've got Thomas Davis and Charles Kickham for a start, so your man needn't go short for a few good rousing songs about the 98 that would have been around for the Civil War.
