Subject: RE: Any September Songs? From: GUEST,henryp Date: 21 Sep 22 - 09:25 AM THE MAID OF MONTEREY - John Hewitt - 1848 The Maid of Monterey Tom Roush; This is one of the few songs that was written about the Mexican-American War that was fought between 1846 and 1848. Most Americans know little and choose to ignore this conflict but I assure you that the people of Mexico remember it. The song was composed by John Hewitt who would write many songs of the Confederacy in the American Civil War. |

Subject: RE: Any September Songs? From: GeoffLawes Date: 21 Sep 22 - 05:57 PM Thanks for THE MAID OF MONTEREY GUEST,henryp I have tried to find information which sets this song in September but have not managed to find anything I guess the following link Battle of Monterrey from Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Monterey is about the correct battle but it gives the date of the battle as 7 July 1846. Can you post something which links the song to the month of September, please? |

Subject: RE: Any September Songs? From: GerryM Date: 21 Sep 22 - 06:37 PM I wonder whether there's some confusion here between Monterey and Monterrey. Both were Mexican, and both were battle sites in 1846 during the war between the United States and Mexico, Monterey on 7 July, Monterrey 21 to 24 September. Monterrey is still Mexican, while Monterey, several hundred miles to the North, is in California, which was ceded to the US by Mexico as a result of the war. Thanks GerryM you may be right but the song title given is spelled “ Monterey “ so possibly it is with the songwriter that the confusion came in ?

Subject: RE: Any September Songs? From: GUEST,henryp Date: 23 Sep 22 - 08:03 AM Battle of Monterey; Early on 7 July 1846, the frigate USS Savannah and the two sloops, USS Cyane and USS Levant of the United States Navy, captured Monterey and raised the flag of the United States. The only shots fired were a 21-gun salute to the new U.S. flag fired by each of the U.S. Navy ships in the harbor. Wikipedia Battle of Monterrey; General Pedro de Ampudia and the Mexican Army of the North was defeated by the Army of Occupation, a force of United States Regulars, Volunteers and Texas Rangers under the command of General Zachary Taylor. The hard-fought urban combat led to heavy casualties on both sides. Wikipedia (General Taylor won the day!) The Maid of Monterey - Published F. D. Benteen, Baltimore, 1851 She cast a look of anguish, On dying and on dead; Her lap she made a pillow For those who groan'd and bled. And when the dying soldier For one bright gleam did pray, He bless'd the Senoretta, The maid of Monterey. So, unless the song is completely fictitious, it appears to refer to the Battle of Monterrey. |

Subject: RE: Any September Songs? From: GUEST,henryp Date: 23 Sep 22 - 09:34 AM THE FIELD OF MONTEREY The Field of Monterey The song was inspired by the Battle of Monterrey in the Mexican American War, which was one of the most significant battles in the war, but also one of the bloodiest. The words to “The Field of Monterey” can be traced back to the authorship of Marion Dix Sullivan (1802-1860), a poet from New Hampshire. “The Field of Montery” (sic) was written in 1846 and subtitled as being “affectionately dedicated to Mrs. Virginia Q.S. of Virginia.” Edna Bradeen’s version here, which she learned from her mother, is slightly different than Sullivan’s original. Sullivan’s poem was not the only artistic expression to be inspired by the battle. Many poems were written about it. Also written were the songs, “The Storming of Monterey” and “The Maid of Monterey.” The latter seems to have been the most popular of all of the songs to come out of the battle. Most of these songs were written in the same style as the popular sentimental pieces of the day.

Subject: RE: Any September Songs? From: GUEST,Diolch Date: 09 Apr 23 - 09:13 AM Geoff has brought up mass trespass songs on the April thread for Kinder but the largest mass trespass in England was Winter Hill in Lancashire on 6 September 1896 (although the people trespassed more than once). Allen Clarke's song WILL YO’ COME O’ SUNDAY MORNING (known in several dialect variants, e.g. mornin') was published on thousands of song sheets for the 10,000+ trespassers and their supporters. I know a version is still sung but haven't yet found a recording online. Clarke was a well-known local writer and publisher of street literature and probably wrote other songs about events in Lancashire. Will yo’ come o’ Sunday morning’ For a walk o’er Winter Hill? Ten thousand went last Sunday But there’s room for thousands still! O the moors are rare and bonny And the heather’s sweet and fine And the roads across the hilltops – Are the people’s – yours and mine!

Subject: RE: Any September Songs? From: GUEST,henryp Date: 04 Sep 23 - 03:01 PM 4 September On this date in 1886, Geronimo, Apache chief and leader of the last great Native American rebellion, surrendered in Arizona to General Nelson Miles. GERONIMO’S CADILLAC; Michael Martin Murphey was originally inspired to write this after seeing a photograph of Geronimo sitting in a Cadillac. He told American Songwriter magazine July/August 1987: "The two images together - Geronimo and a Cadillac - just struck me as a song title. It was every irony I could ever think of about our culture in two words. Their attempt to make of him what we would define as a civilized person. That was the reason they put him in a Cadillac in the first place. He was actually in jail at the time." https://www.songfacts.com/facts/michael-martin-murphey/geronimos-cadillac Geronimo's Cadillac GERONIMO by Lorne Greene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpjJO0THGxg GERONIMO by George Jones https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bwJvDU_xRw

Subject: RE: Any September Songs? From: GUEST,henryp Date: 04 Sep 23 - 11:03 PM 5 September On this day in 1847, Jesse James, American outlaw, was born near Kansas City. With his elder brother Frank, he led the first gang to carry out train robberies. JESSE JAMES is a 19th-century American folk song, first recorded by Bentley Ball in 1919 and subsequently by many others, including Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger and The Kingston Trio. But that dirty little coward That shot Mr. Howard Has laid poor Jesse in his grave. Robert Ford, who killed Jesse, was a James' gang member. Mr. Howard was the alias that James lived under in Saint Joseph, Missouri at the time of his killing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kQBIO-VdQQ Jesse James JESSE JAMES Link to Mudcat post above “The Ballad of Jesse James “/mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=170186&messages=138#jessejamesballad:~:text=Subject%3A%20RE%3A%20Any%20September%20Songs% |
