First Edition
First Edition. Octavo lettersheet (ca 8" x 5"); bifolium; printed in blue and red on white coated stock on top page only. Fine. A patriotic song in thirteen stanzas, celebrating Sheridan's victory over Jubal Early's Confederate troops at Cedar Creek, in the northern Shenandoah Valley, in late 1864. This was one of the decisive battles of the War, and it is described colorfully here. Though no music is included, the chorus, repeated with variations throughout the song - "Get out of the way, says Phil to Early / You've come too late to get the Valley," etc - suggests it was meant to be sung to the popular minstrel tune "Ole Dan Tucker.".
