| 3. | Seibert, T. Lawrence and Eddie Newton Casey Jones, The Brave Engineer - Sheet Music
Los Angeles, California Southern California Music Co. 1909 Printed Wrapper Very Good No Jacket Folio - over 12" - 15" tall
Classic railroad sheet music of a famous railroad song. Approximately 11"x14". 6 pages including cover. Retells the famous story of Casey's crash at the throttle of Illinois Central No 382 in 1900. Rough lyrics for this song were composed shortly after Casey's death by Wallace Saunders, Casey's African-American engine wiper. Another engineer heard Saunders and and related the song to his brothers who were vaudeville performers. They polished the song, added the now famous chorus, and the song became a major hit. When the song was published the words were credited to Seibert and the music to Newton. Clean. Minor wear. See accompanying image (I inadvertently cropped the scan; the music has not been trimmed.).
