Abstract:

Old Dan Tucker, subject of the song sung through the middle of the 18th-century, was no myth. Dan Tucker was a hearty man, beloved by his neighbors in Randolph County. Born in London in 1720, Tucker came to America at six years old with his parents who settled in Bath, eventually becoming a farmer and hunter.
