Subject: Lyr/Chords Add: HARD TIMES (Campaign of 1844) From: chico Date: 01 Aug 05 - 04:57 AM [From the 'Democratic Songster' "Democratic nominee James K. Polk campaigned vigorously, surprising many with his stalwart support of westward expansion, an issue that Whig nominee Henry Clay and others attempted to deflect. His campaign slogan "54 40 or fight!" referred to the desired northern boundary of the Oregon Territory at the 54th parallel, 40 minutes, well north of the boundary set by the Oregon Treaty of 1846."-Wikipedia] |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Hard Times (Campaign of 1844) From: GUEST,.gargoyle Date: 02 Aug 05 - 12:01 AM Thank you CHICa!
Just curious - what were the WIKEPEDIA original sources for your source?
When citing a source, from another source, that used another source...it is ALWAYS necessiary to give the lineage.
Sincerely,
Without accurate records we might believe that Seth gave his rib to Eve - or that Mexico controled the SWestern U.S.A....when everyone knows that the French and Spanish and Russians have first claim. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Hard Times (Campaign of 1844) From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 02 Aug 05 - 12:14 AM Do please close your <pre> tag at the end of the lyric. It's a pain in the arse having to scroll across a couple of screens to read the source information at the bottom, such as it is. Which iteration of 'wickipedia' do you mean? It isn't a very reliable source in itself, so a properly checkable source should always be named if possible; I'm with Gargoyle on this one.

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Hard Times (Campaign of 1844) From: chico Date: 05 Aug 05 - 12:34 AM The wikipedia was just something I added in to give background on the song. It doesn't affect the actual verse. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Hard Times (Campaign of 1844) From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 05 Aug 05 - 01:59 PM More than one "Democratic Songster;," 1801, 18-- (40s?) and one during the 1860s. None is readily available but the Library of Congress has the one from the 1840s. The State Library of North Carolina En*cyclopedia offers reliable information on Polk. The wackypedia is prone to mis-inform. Polk |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Hard Times (Campaign of 1844) From: GUEST Date: 05 Aug 05 - 09:15 PM The same lyrics from the Polk campaign are printed in "Songs America Voted By" by Irwin Silber (1971)(Stackpole books 1988) tHE "Democratic Songster" Silber cites was from 1844 published by Turner and Fisher, New York. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Hard Times (Campaign of 1844) From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 05 Aug 05 - 10:14 PM That is the same as the Lib. Congress copy, but the exact date 1844 is uncertain. That is why I left it in my post as 18-- as the Lib. Congress does but 1840s puts the limits on it. The booklet is undated. |
