The song is American Traditional, by an unknown composer from the romantic period of the 19th century, and certainly was known to and traveled with the prairie pioneers. Enjoy the song, and the music and joy of Charlie McCoy. And as You Listen to the song Shenandoah, try to imagine yourself being out on the prairie and feeling a soft, gentle breeze. Seeing the mountains in the distance. Hearing the birds call to one and other, and then seeing a prairie dog surface nearby. Imagine that the sun has followed you all day. The wild flowers are gently swaying, and their colors are rich and vibrant, as they have been everyday. And somehow the silence of the moment reminds you of a smooth flowing river that you crossed, and that others too will be crossing to reach the prairie. Then you see a buffalo and an elk. And as you look, just beyond the horizon you see something else moving, and then you realize that it is someone coming. You don’t know who, but whoever they are, they will be a friend. And when they reach you, there will be a smile and they will say, “I thought I heard you singing a song.” Some Historical Background of the American Thanksgiving The Indian Squanto http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squanto The Mayflower http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayflower The Mayflower Compact http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayflower_Compact Text of the Mayflower Compact http://www.pilgrimhall.org/compact.htm George Washington’s Proclamation http://www.earlyamerica.com/earlyamerica/firsts/thanksgiving/ Abraham Lincoln’s Proclamation http://www.nps.gov/history/history/online_books/source/sb2/sb2w.htm Comments[0] | ||
