This book has several Civil War songs (lyrics and written music) and stories about the Civil War. The stories are very interesting about how important music was to the soldiers. How the songs played by the drummer and musicians inspired soldiers to keep on fighting. Also stories of those back home missing the soldiers and of the slaves working for freedom. The only drawback is that it is a half size book and it is hard to keep it open so you can play the music.
Even if one is a collector or reenactor of the this time period, there will be things discovered that were not known before. Easy to read & carry anywhere it is the best entertainment for any musician or historian to be found in so small a publication. It is in my violin case & there it will remain, ready to go with me everywhere & entertain me between gigs.
