MARCH OF THE DIE HARDS. AKA and see "Bonaparte Crossing the Rhine (1)," "Caledonian March." Scottish, March. The title commemorates the 57th Regiment Scots. Bayard (1981) thinks it "especially close" to his Pennsylvania collected "Dusinberry March." A note in McDonald's volume states the air was "believed to be of great antiquity."
