A true classic western folk song, often called the "unofficial anthem" of the American West. In 1947, it became the state song of Kansas! Bing Crosby's 1933 rendition, the most popular version to date, is described as transforming "a nostalgic lament into an ode to pioneering, a dream of shared history, a vaguely religious affirmation of fortitude in the face of peril."

The lyrics were originally written in 1808 by Dr. Brewster M. Higley of Smith County, Kansas in a poem entitled "My Western Home." In 2010, members of the Western Writers of America chose it as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time.
