The Hutchinson family

traveled all around the East

Coast singing.

They were very much against

slavery.

They sang out about that.

They were political.

Kind of like a 19th century version

of the Weavers.

And they made this next song

extremely popular in their concerts. seats.

I'm sure you all know the chorus

of Tenting on the Old Campground.
