PETERSBURG LADIES. American, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC. The title refers to the women of Petersburg, Virginia, now a suburb of Richmond. The reel was first printed in George P. Knauff's Virginia Reels, volume II [1] (Baltimore, 1839, p. 3), and enjoyed some popularity as evidenced by its reprinting in a few tune books, such as Volume Second of the Home Circle (1863, published by Oliver Ditson & Co.) and Blume's Collection of Popular Melodies (1864, New York).
