The song “Charlie Rutlage” by composer Charles Ives was released in 1920 as part of Ives’ collection Cowboy Songs and Other Ballads, and the work is distinctive of his signature style. The lyrics are mournful and melancholy, as Ives eulogizes “another good cowpuncher (who) has gone to meet his fate,” telling the story of Charlie Rutlage, a hand on the XIT ranch who was killed after his horse fell and crushed him underneath. Ives sings the opening lines of the song with a celebratory bravado, lauding Rutlage by saying “’Twill be hard to find another that’s as liked as well as he” to suggest that the fallen cowboy was beloved by his friends and family. In my estimation, this passage is used by Ives to form an emotional connection between his listener and the titular character, because in telling a tragic story of death at a young age, it is important to form a foundation of empathy between the audience and the doomed protagonist. I also believe that Ives intends for the individual man Charlie Rutlage to serve as a symbol for the cowboy culture as a whole, a culture which was dying off during the time in which Ives composed the song. When Ives sings of Rutlage’s demise “Twas on the spring roundup, a place where death men mock, he went forward one morning on a circle through the hills, he was gay and full of glee and free from earthly ills, but when it came to finish up the work on which he went, nothing came back from him, his time on earth was spent,” I view this sudden shift from gaiety and glee to death as a reflection of the wider cultural shift taking place at the time. With industrialization and urban expansion threatening the traditional ranching lifestyle that Ives and many members of his generation had grown to love, the scene of Charlie Rutlage embarking on a spring roundup happy to pursue his work, and entering an early grave as a result, is evocative of the American cowboy’s rapid decline in the early 20th century.
