There are several people that may be better known born on this day but you
really wanted to celebrate:
Happy Birthday
Owen Wister
b7/14/1860 (d7/21/38)
Author of The Virginian (1902) and very early field collector of cowboy
songs & tunes. He's the guy that collected and used in the Broadway
production:
Whoopee ti yi yo, git along, little dogies,
It's your misfortune, and none of my own.
Whoopee ti yi yo, git along, little dogies,
For you know Wyoming will be your new home.
(The "whoop" should be a WHOOP!, you know. It's cattle calling, not baby rocking.)
