    Well, Dvorak spent a lot of summers in Iowa, if that’s any comfort, Schroeder.

    Minnesota wasn’t a state yet during the Alamo (1858 vs 1836).

    In a later strip, Schroeder showed pictures of when he visited Beethoven’s house in Germany during a trip to Europe.

    If you’re a native, it’s pronounced “MinneSOOOOta.”

    The hatching to indicate his face turning red doesn’t work so well when you colorize the old comics.

    The Alamo was not in the US at the time of the battle.

    Beethoven never visited America. But he had a grand nephew who bore the name. This later Ludwig did come to America, fleeing creditors and police, because of various frauds and scams. In America he used the name “Louis von Hoven.” You can learn more about him under that name.

    Not to mention that Ludwig died nearly ten years before the siege of the Alamo took place.

    But Beethoven’s spirit lived on in Twin Cities native son Sparky and through the dozens of Peanuts strips in which Schroeder played and celebrated the music and life of the great composer.

    Schroeder must have been thinking of Johann Gambolputty de von Ausfern-schplenden-schlitter-crasscrenbon-fried-digger-dingle-dangle-dongle-dungle-burstein-von-knacker-thrasher-apple-banger-horowitz-ticolensic-grander-knotty-spelltinkle-grandlich-grumblemeyer-spelterwasser-kurstlich-himbleeisen-bahnwagen-gutenabend-bitte-ein-nürnburger-bratwustle-gerspurten-mitzweimache-luber-hundsfut-gumberaber-shörnendanker-kalbsfleisch-mittler-aucher von Hautkopft of (New) Ulm.

    And you could say Tchaikovsky was a native of Alaska (seeing as it’s across the way from Russia).

    Well, Beethoven wrote a number of arrangements based on folk songs from different countries, chiefly from Scotland, Ireland, Wales and England. I bet he would have done the same with American folk music, had it ever made its way to his writing desk. However, Davy Crockett and the Alamo would hardly have featured in any of them as the Alamo occurred 11 years after his death.
