The melody is of disputed origin, page 92 but is attributed to Edwin Ericsson. Background Olof Thunman was an enthusiastic hiker and well known in the areas around Uppsala where he hiked in his steel-shod ski boots, suit and overcoat.

Thunman was serving as tutor to the sons of bank director Henning Ericsson in Flen, and he had spent a summer evening in 1900 at the hotel restaurant with the oldest son Edwin and station writer Hjalmar Hökberg, which ended with a walk on a road tow ...
