"Pride Of The Prairie" is a popular song written in 1907 with music by George Botsford and lyrics by Henry J. Breen.

[2] Botsford wrote the music for the song while working for a publisher in New York, where he met Breen incidentally.

It wound up launching his career as a composer, as its success resulted in securement of a contract with J. H. Remick & Co., for whom he later wrote 1908's Black and White Rag, which sold over 200,000 copies.

In addition, its release came one year after the introduction of the Ford Model T, and accessibility to long-distance travel spurred the advent and popularization of cowboy tourism.

Sales reflected this popularity, as the sheet music sold over 300,000 copies.
