Trade Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. 385 Pages Indexed. First Dover Edition. Tight bright and square book with no marks or stamps. Faultless interior. From the turmoil and tragedy of America's Civil War came an outpouring of song that was clearly no longer European in inspiration, but distinctively American, born of a deeply s…hared experience. It has been estimated that over lO,OOO songs were written about the Civil War. This book brings together 125 of the finest and most typical of these songs in one of the best edited, most comprehensive collections of Civil War songs ever published. The songs are richly varied in subject and theme. Among them are stirring marching songs and patriotic hymns, sentimental ballads and comic ditties, boasting songs and drinking songs, fighting songs and loving songs. Of course, the rousing Battle Hymn of the Republic, Dixie, When Johnny Comes Marching Home and Tramp, Tramp, Tramp are here. But so, too, are the less familiar but no less memorable Booth Killed Lincoln, The Vacant Chair, The Cumberland and the Merrimac, All Quiet Along the Potomac and Many Thousand Gone. Contents in Nine Parts: The Union Forever, In Dixie Land I'll Take My Stand, Old Abe Lincoln Came Out of the Wilderness, Weeping Sad and Lonely, Tenting on the Old Camp Ground, It's All About That Terrible Fight, Let My People Go, Grafted into the Army, and The Blue and the Gray.
