Hardcover. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. Inscribed, signed and dated July 8,1899 by the author. This is a reprint of the 1890s from the original edition published by Oliver Ditson and Company in 1864. The unusual cover is formed of celluloid, a plastic that had come into much use (collar stays, etc.) during the final decades of the 19th century. The cream colored plastic has a fluted edge all around and what appears to be a colored hand decorated front, featuring the title surrounding tents, American flags, a small house and a campfire with its smoke encircling the tents and the house. The author's name is printed at the bottom. The cover has lost none of the "springiness" of celluloid, and the decorations are sparkling. The text is also in near fine condition, and is tied into the cover with an aqua ribbon. The illustrations are extraordinary and the words of Kittredge's famous song run through the book. The song, with its original musical score, is also printed at the end. The frontispiece is a rare print of Custer in his Civil War uniform with his medals; a portrait of Kittredge follows the copyright page. A very rare and unusual item! Language: eng.

4to. The autograph manuscript includes the music, the title at the top, and 12 lines for the lyrics, in full: "We're tenting to night / on the old camp ground. / Give us a song to cheer our / Weary hearts a song of home. / And friends we / love so dear / Chorus / Many are the hearts / that are weary to night. / Wishing for the war to / cease. Many are the hearts / looking for the right / to see the dawn of / peace. Tenting to night. Tenting to night. / Tenting on the old camp / ground. / Last time P.P.P. Repeat P.P.P. / Last verse Dying to night. Dying to night (omit) / Dying on the Old Camp Ground. / Resp. yours / Walter Kittredge." Note on the verso in another hand "Red'd Nov. 30 / 82." Very good. Faint old fold lines. (9785). This popular Civil War song was composed in 1863 by the largely self-taught musician Walter Kittredge, a New Hampshire native who wrote a number of songs inspired by the conflict of the Civil War. "One of the most loved pieces of Civil War music, sung at annual encampments of the Grand Old Army of the Republic and of the veterans of the armies of the Confederacy" (Russell Sajek "American Popular Music and Its Business: The First Hundred Years," pp. 244-245; NY: Oxford U. Press, 1988).

Autograph Album: Original full black leather binding, gilt lettering and design at spine and front cover. Octavo. Ownership signature in calligraphy of Annie E. Fairfield of the Merrimak Normal Institute. Collection of poetry of classmates at the M. N. Institute of Merrimack, New Hampshire, during the year 1855. Includes an original signed poem by Walter Kittredge, "To Annie", written well before the author became one of the most famous Civil War songwriters. The poem is nine lines including title and is dated and signed by Walter Kittredge of "Reeds Ferry". It reads as follows: To Annie / May virtue light thy way through life / Each fleeting hour cheer / Sustain and comfort thee when sad / And drive away each fear / As brightly shines the evening star / May heaven illume thy way / and sorrow find no access thee / or cause a gloomy day. Kittredge would go on to write Tenting Tonight on the Old Camp Ground, one of the best remembered of all Civil War songs and was given voice by weary soldiers of both northern and southern troop camps. It has been written that commanders unsuccessfully tried to ban the song, so that the lively singing would not give away their location to the enemy. During the fall of 1857 Kittredge traveled throughout the Northeast and along the Connecticut River with Joshua Hutchinson of the famous Hutchinson Family Singers. The Civil War was in full development by 1863 when he received notice that he had been drafted to serve in the army and must report at once to Concord, New Hampshire. The night before he left a song began to take form. The music and words of Tenting Tonight on the Old Camp Ground came together that night. Not a word or a note was ever changed later. Kittredge took his song to the Oliver Ditson Company, a Boston publisher and offered to sell it for fifteen dollars. He was told it was too sad and sentimental and that there was nothing to it. After Ditson was convinced to purchase the song by one of the Hutchinsons, within six months after the song's premier over ten thousand copies of the Tenting Tonight on the Old Camp Ground had been sold. Over his career he wrote over 500 songs, many of them dealing with themes of the American Civil War. Autograph material by the poet is extremely scarce in nature. The autograph book also contains a poem by Luther Kittredge, Walter's younger brother. Includes a signed and inscribed copy of: Tenting on the Old Camp Ground. Boston: Joseph Kinght Company (1893). Early Printing. Octavo. Bound in stiff pink, 'plastic-like' wrappers that is stamped: 'Pat'd September 19, 1893'.
