This traditional fiddle tune was inspired Julien Dubuqu, the lead miner/fur trader who established the first community on the Mississippi River where now is the City of Dubuque, Iowa. According to tradition and legend, Dubuque was an accomplished fiddler who would dance while performing. Inspired by a performance observed when Julien was visiting St. Louis, a fiddler composed the basis for this composition in 1800.Â
