Arthur MacDonald - True Napan Heroes

Recorded in 1948. The song tells the story of two men who fight in a shanty (in front of an audience of shantymen - aka lumbermen) for nearly an hour; both men fought like heroes (Robert Sweezey vs Frank Russell). According to Dr. Edward ("Sandy") Ives this song is a parody of another fighting song which appears in his book called Morissey and the Black. The song mentions a place called Pointy Car which Ives (in his book) notes is actually called Pointe aux Carr and is a settlement a few miles down the Miramichi Bay near Napan.

This song is sung a cappella.

This song appears elsewhere in the Manny collection as (079-07).
