Music making was much more a part of nineteenth century American life than it is today. This created a huge demand for lithographic song sheets, which issued forth from small publishers around the country from 1826 until the end of the century. This particular sheet music cover can be found in the Library of Congress and Lester Levy Sheet Music Collection at Johns Hopkins.
