Pioneer Songs
By clicking on the link above you will be treated to several songs sung by the pioneers as they carved civilization out of the West, as sung by their descendants in 1947, when they were recorded for the Library of Congress's Archive of Folk Culture. These examples were recorded in 1946 and 1947 by Austin Fife and his wife Alta as they gethered songs passed on in the folk tradition—either learned firsthand from the writer or passed down in families and communities.

Mystery: Who did Daniel work for?
Mystery: The family history said that Daniel worked for the King of England. However, Daniel was born in 1830. King George IV died in 1830, King William IV died in 1837 and Queen Victoria took over for the next 44 years, until long after the Harvey family immigrated to Utah. ...... hmmmmm.
Daniel married Hannah in 1853, so he surely must have worked for the QUEEN, not the king.
Queen Victoria ..... however, her husband, Albert exerted such influence over her, that it is possible that people considered him the King.
Here's some info on them from : http://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/England-History/KingsandQueens.htm

VICTORIA 1837 - 1901
Victoria was the only child of Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg and Edward Duke of Kent, fourth son of GEORGE III. The throne Victoria inherited was weak and unpopular. Her Hanovarian uncles had been treated with irreverence. In 1840 she married her cousin Albert of Saxe-Coburg. Albert exerted tremendous influence over the Queen and until his death was virtual ruler of the country. he was a pillar of respectability and left two legacies to England, the Christmas Tree and the Great Exhibition of 1851. With the money from the Exhibition several institutions were developed, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Science Museum, Imperial College and the Royal Albert Hall. The Queen withdrew from public life after the death of Albert in 1861 until her Golden Jubilee in 1887. Her reign saw the British Empire double in size and in 1876 the Queen became Empress of India, the 'Jewel in the Crown'. When Victoria died in 1901, after the longest reign in English history, the British Empire and British world power had reached their highest point. She had nine children, 40 grand-children and 37 great-grandchildren, scattered all over Europe.
