[Civil War Songbook]

Contains lyrics to several martial, sentimental, religious and romantic songs. Titles include "John Brown Song" (usually called "John Brown's Body") "Sung by Fletcher Webster's Regiment in Boston [sic]," "Traitor, Spare That Flag," "Oh, For a Home Amid the Hills," "Jane Feeding the Poor Robin," "Glory for the North (usually called 'Glory Hallelujah'')," "Bonny Eloise," and "Some Twenty Years Ago." The songs are illustrated with hand-drawn watercolors, including a woman (possibly Lady Liberty) holding a lamp and a patriotic shield, a man holding a rifle, a landscape with Indians hunting deer, a depiction of a bearded man - evidently Abraham Lincoln - seated at a desk, a woman looking out the window at a robin, a Zouave soldier holding a sword and a flag, a bluebird, and a landscape. Crude bindings still visible.
