Thread Name: Irish Name for Bonaparte/Rocky Mts.
Subject: RE: Irish Name for Bonaparte/Rocky Mts.
There's a song in the data base called "The Regular Army, Oh" (and it has a midi tune you can play back) which is the same as Bonaparte Crossing the Rocky Mountains. Somewhere, unfortunately not in the notes with this song, I remember reading that it was derived from an Irish tune called Dear Old Donegal. Bonaparte Crossing the Rhine and Bonaparte's Retreat are different tunes.
