VIAF (possibly, still not definitely true... James Eugene Stewart, born 1843, Detroit)
Miscellaneous information
There were several James E. Stewarts composing in the mid-to-late 19th century; without knowing more about their work individually or as a group it is hard to identify the composer of a work whose composer whose name is given with only the middle initial, of course. The most famous seems to have been James Eugene Stewart, born 1843.
