Please bear i mind this is a used copy I picked up at an estate sale. Cover has same very minor dings from being used and the upper corner is slightly bent. A very tiny bend at that. No markings on the pages,and the pages are very clean. Binding is tight and unbroken. Whoever had it took really good care of this book. A new copy retails for over $27 presently,but wanting to pass this deal on to you.                                                                  

A comprehensive and historically significant song collection, this massive volume captures the hopes and tragedy of the Civil War era. Songs are grouped into the following categories: The Union, The Confederacy, Lincoln, Universal Sentiments, Soldiers Songs, Battles, Negro Spirituals & Abolitionist Songs, The Lighter Side, and Post Bellum. A special feature of this text is the inclusion of authentic formal and informal portraits, plus depicting military encampment of the aftermath of the battle. Arranged for voice with piano accompaniment and guitar chords.

        This songbook can be used for any instrument you can read music and know chords for.  It's the most complete songbook of Civil War tunes that I can offer,and is a whopping 272 pp. Great for re-enactments,school presentations,and historical presentations.
