Andrew Jackson, Davey Crocket, Sam Houston and their Cherokee allies wiped out most of the Creek Nation's warriors leaving the Creeks unable to resist European incursions. The cherokee thought they'd earned the respect and friendship of Jackson et al. The Trail of Tears was THEIR reward.

A brisk, raggy march. I wrote as a tribute to the little villiage I live in. It has a civil war era feeling to it (IMHO)

Good Old "bloodsong" murder ballad. Never did get an idea of why Willie felt the need to off Polly. From a real even way back in England. Lots of fun to play on a fretless anyway.
