In the Shadow of the Carolina Hills

This is a music supplement issued by Joseph W. Stem & Co. of New York around 1900. The primary content consists of sheet music for the song "In the Shadow of the Carolina Hills," composed by Max S. Wilt with lyrics by George Taggart. The piece is a sentimental ballad featuring pastoral imagery—fragrant breezes, singing birds, and rippling rills—with romantic themes. The first verse references a character named sweet Jess and an unnamed narrator's longing to hear her speak his name. The supplement includes the opening verse and chorus sections with musical notation. Copyright dates of 1899 and 1900 appear, with performing rights secured for Great Britain and British colonies; mechanical reproduction is prohibited. Additional song titles partially visible include "My Little Georgia Rose" and "Wait Till My Ship Comes In."
