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 shared 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.

paperback. Condition: Good. Ex-library, with expected library markings.Vol. 7-12. 1964-1973 Book was donated to Friends of Omaha Public Library.

Softcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. This 6.25 x 9.25 inch, 96 page soft over book is a nifty publication from 1961, and is in very good condition. The paper covers show a touch of age with a very little bit of whitening to the edges of the cover and a small tear on the spine that does not compromise the cover or binding in any way. The interior text pages are in at least very good condition with a previous owner's inked name on the title page and two dog-eared corners in the text pages. The book prints a number of folk songs from the past but really its strength is the forward by Pete Seeger and the information, descriptions of the history of different songs, and also the write-ups on folk singers that make this book a valuable source for the story of American folks music. 96 pages.
