Comment
Threlkeld promoted the title in advertisements in The Billboard in December 1918 and January 1919, but its modest success was primarily in performances by community bands in the summer of 1919.
Historical Note
Threlkeld’s first copyright, in his own name, was of a manuscript with the melody and words, with Harry L. Alford listed as the arranger. On November 29 a second copyright was registered (printed copies deposited December 2), by Erle & Leo Music Publishing Company. The versions for band and orchestra (announced in the sheet music) are credited to Alford in subsequent advertising.
Musical Note
A one-step, march song novelty (marked “One Step Tempo), the vamp is simply open fifths, evoking cliches of native American drumming. The verse is in the relative minor, with rhythm and melody consistent with native American characterisations. Typical one-step syncopation is used throughout.
