It should also be noted that Paterson was writing his ballads
before either of these became well-known, and there was little, if any,
influence from either side. More likely, Paterson was influenced
by the Scottish tradition of poetry (Paterson was of Scottish descent)
which had been popularized in Australia by Adam Lindsay Gordon and others.
Banjo Paterson died of a heart attack on 5 February, 1941.
A. Light, 1995.
