“While Daniel E. Kelley sung the song, Home Home On the Range, a man named Brewster M. Higley originally wrote the song as a poem in 1873.”

I’ve been in the Soddy in NW Kansas where it was written.

Thanks, Mercat! I was going to say the same thing, but you beat me to it. I have also been to the Higley cabin. He actually spent TWO winters there, to homestead the place. Guess he was tougher than me....

We’re you on BAK? A very obscure location.
