Description
"Music in the Civil War covers the subject thoroughly, describing the composers and musicians; military bands, buglers, and drummer boys (many very young); music as it was enjoyed in the homes; the music of the slaves ... even the songs sung in the prisons. Scores of photographs of the sheet music and musical instruments of the time help bring this fascinating subject to life."--Page 4 of cover.
