| Summary: | 1912 The Golden Potlatch was a summer festival held in Seattle from 1911 through 1914. Organized by city boosters, it was designed to promote business interests and keep newly-prosperous Seattle in the public eye after the Alaskan gold rush and the success of the 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition. "Golden Potlatch," a march and two-step for piano, composed by Martin Greenwald, was but one of the songs written to promote the 1912 festival. The sheet music cover shows a woman dancing at Pioneer Square, while costumed carnival-goers dance around a totem pole. "Golden Potlatch" was published by Leo Feist of New York. Ads for eight additional pieces from the same publisher are found inside the front cover and on the back cover. 1 score (6 p.) 10.75 x 13.75 in
