No mention is made on the page as to the identity of "fearless Lowe" and "dashing May."

A likely possibility for the former is Enoch Louis Lowe (1820-1892), Governor of MD from 1851 to 1854 according to http://politicalgraveyard.com/bio/lowe.html This is a suggestion only. Without further knowledge I am unwilling to make an actual edit to the page and perhaps perpetuate an error.

I have no suggestion as to the personage "May."

That Lowe is a possibility, but since the song calls him "fearless" just after naming two men killed in action, I think the Lowe of the song probably was another soldier. I also have no idea who May was. Neither seems to have died in the Mexican War, and neither was injured in the riot. Tms 13:33, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
