Brewster Higley
Brewster Martin Higley VI (November 30, 1823 - December 9, 1911) was an otolaryngologist who became famous for writing "The Western Home."〔(Classic Cowboy poetry ). From: cowboypoetry.com. Retrieved October 23, 2007.〕 This poem, originally written in 1872 and published under the title "Oh, Give Me a Home Where the Buffalo Roam" in the ''Smith County Pioneer'' in 1873, would be set to music to become the lyrics for the famous American folksong "Home on the Range."
Because Higley wrote "The Western Home" while living in Smith County, Kansas, and because they felt it described their state very well, the Kansas legislature voted to make "Home on the Range" the official state song on April 8, 1947.〔(Emporia State University: Home on the Range – A Lesson on our State Song ).
