[Sheet Music]: Ambolena Snow: An Afro-American Military Ballad Bodine, Lester, Words By, And Geo. Maywood, Music By African-Americana,Music

First edition thus. Cover illustration by Keane. Folio. Single bifolium making four pages. Toning, else near fine. For voice and piano. Supplement to *The San Francisco Examiner*, Sunday, December 5, 1897. The lyrics celebrate Miss Ambolena Phillipena Snow, "the boys all love her so." Unlike this edition, the original publication of this song, published just one year prior by The S. Brainard's Sons Co., featured a rather tasteful cover illustration, leading one to wonder why exactly Keane and *The Examiner* felt the need to go so far in the other direction. *OCLC* locates four holdings of this edition.
