Happy Rough Ridin' Remington Birthday (Birthday/Children)


Painter/Illustrator/Sculptor Frederic Remington(1861-1909), consummate artist of the Old West and all varieties of Rugged Americana including on-site witnessing of T. Roosevelt's Rough Riders' charge up San Juan Hill. His work reflects his family tree's deep American roots : cousin to the founder of the gun manufacturer of the same celebrated name, distant relative of George Washington and various famous mountain men. "Happy Birthday," perhaps the most sung song in the English language, dates back melodically to 1893. Two sisters, Mildred Hill and Patty Smith Hill, included a classroom greeting "Good Morning To All" in a published book called "Song Stories for the Kindergarten." The lyrics now sung worldwide evolved over the next 40 years from the Hill sisters' original words to what everyone now knows as "Happy Birthday To You."
