is a popular session jig. O'Neill (Irish Folk Music, p. 94) says: "Dr. Petrie refers to it as a Munster jig, yet none whom the writer heard play it in any style were natives of that province. In its original form of two strains it was one of Jackson's jigs, and Dr. Petrie's opinion receives corroboration by finding a simple version of the tune in Dr. Joyce's Old Irish Folk Airs and Songs, just published." O'Neill remarks again in Irish Minstrels and Musicians (1913, p. 183) the tune had been ascribed to the famous 18th century County Limerick composer Walker 'Piper' Jackson. He did not specify where he obtained this information, but "Jackson" is listed as the composer in Elias Howe's c. 1866 Musician's Omnibus No. 3 (p. 220). Paul de Grae (notes to MOI/DMI, 2017) is of the opinion that Howe's version of "Cherish the Ladies" formed the basis for Chief O'Neill's more elaborate six-part one, as the first two stains are "almost exactly identical, and the Howe/Ryan's third part is very like O'Neill's (or rather, Gillan's) fourth part." O'Neill also printed the first two strains of his "Cherish the Ladies" independent of his other strains under the title "Humors of Cappa (2) (The)."

-The melody first appears under the "Booker" title in George P. Knauff's '''Virginia Reels''', volume III (Baltimore, 1839), apparently in honor of a Revolutionary War leader and local hero from Virginia (according to Jabbour). Researcher Chris Goertzen elaborates that this George Booker served as a militia lieutenant in the Revolutionary War and lived in Knauff's area of Farmville, Virginia; probably the same individual who was a local lawyer by 1809. Goertzen points out that the Booker family name "is common in the little cemeteries that dot Prince Edward County farms" <ref>Chris Goertzen,'''George P. Knauff's Virginia Reels and the History of American Fiddling''', 2017, p. 65.</ref>. Bruce Green thinks this tune may have been brought to the southern Kentucky region by a fiddler named John Gregory, originally from Virginia (in connection with similar Kentucky melodies, see Ed Hayley's "[[Grey Eagle Jig]]"). The tune was recorded for the Library of Congress by musicologist/folklorist Vance Randolph in the early 1940's from Ozarks Mountains fiddlers (including Lon Jordan in 1941), although Drew Beisswenger (2008) says it is not often played by Ozarks fiddlers today. Alan Jabbour believes "George Booker" is similar to "Camp Chase" and speculates that the former may have been the tune originally played in the Civil War prison camp which gave West Virginia fiddler Solly Carpenter his freedom.
