where did smokey the bear live after the fire
Smokey Bear Smokey Bear lived at the National Zoo for 26 years. During that time he received millions of visitors as well as so many letters addressed to him (up to 13,000 a week) that in 1964 the United States Postal Service gave him his own ZIP code (20252).[19] He developed a love for peanut butter sandwiches, in addition to his daily diet of bluefish and trout.[19]
On Top of Old Smoky The tune of "On Top of Old Smokey" familiar to most people today was also paired with a completely different set of words in a folk song called "The Little Mohee", about a frontiersman who falls in love with an Indian maiden (or, in some versions, a sailor who falls in love with a South Seas maiden).[15] This tune was collected by the American fieldworkers Loraine Wyman and Howard Brockway in Pine Mountain, Kentucky[16] from a singer named Mary Ann Bagley,[17] and published by them in 1916, hence a year before the Sharp/Karpeles version mentioned above.[18]
