It was known in southwestern Pa. and<br> Albemarle County, Virginia.<br> Once a very well-known fife march from southwestern Pa. Bayard (1981) sees this piece as a<br> condensed or contracted form of a longer piece, probably "The Templehouse (Reel)".<br> Monongahela College was the first Baptist college in western Pennsylvania. It was begun by<br> the Ten Mile Baptist Association in 1867, opened in 1869 and was chartered in 1871 by the<br> legislature. It was operated from 1869 to 1888; reopened in 1890 and finally closed in 1894.<br> It was located in Jefferson, Greene County, western Pennsylvania.<br> The tune was collected from Hiram Horner (a fifer from Westmoreland and Fayette Counties,<br> Pa. in 1944) and Samuel Palmer (a fiddler Fayette County, Pa. in 1944) by Samuel Bayard and<br> Mount Pleasant Tablatures and Real Fife Tunes (collected by Thomas Hoge) .<br> It was printed in Bayard's Dance to the Fiddle (1981) and Southern Folklore Quarterly,<br> vol. 6.<br>
