"...the Mohican Indian from Connecticut, Samson Occum was educated by
Reverend Eleazer Wheelock, ordained a Presbyterian minister in 1759,
and preached among the Native Americans of Eastern Long Island. He was
sent to England in 1765 to preach and was instrumental in raising
10,000 pounds to assist in the founding of Dartmouth College,
Wheelock's Indian School."

THE CONNECTICUT PEDDLER: "I LOVE LONG ISLAND"

An interesting history of early music in the New York vicinity
re-recorded with historical notes. Interesting left out is "Home Sweet
Home" a village named after it today there and "Carry Me Back To Old
Virginie" both said to have been written on Long Island. It's said
America's first successful operetta was written by Micah Hawkins,
another Long Islander, (the "Pied Piper of Catherine Slip" - NY State
Historical Association article) is alas, to my searching, not extant
and was called "A Sawmill River or a Yankee Trick, as it were Willom"
listed in the origin of  the "blackface" theater historical tradition
played first (?) on NYC's Bowery theater district.

Maybe Dartmouth might know more about it...ye old College Road cut
through the Lakes Region of New Hampshire, some of which I've been on,
some of it no longer a road, also its result.
