^ Pisani, Imagining Native America in Music, p. 253: "Raymond A. Browne used a repeating tom-tom open-fifth trope for 'On the War-Path: A Wild-West Two-Step' (also 1904). Though the tom-tom effect had occasionally appeared in nineteenth-century balletic danses sauvages, 'On the War-Path' is the first such instance I have found in an American popular song."
