Hi all- I'm trung to find out some history on two songs, so I hope there is someone out there who can help me. The first is this: Does the song 'The Galtee Mountain Boy' refer to an individual (as 'The Wild Colonial Boy' does)? If so, who was he and what do we know about him? I've looked at some old threads on this song but they don't address this question. Secondly, does anyone know the details behind the song 'The Upton Ambush'? Was it an actual event? If so, when did it occur and what is the full story? Any answers or suggestions for where I might look for answers would be appreciated.

Paulco.
