AMERICAN CIVIL WAR BALLADS
Footnotes
A rare large collection of American Civil War broadside ballads, all in support of the Union cause ('War in New York. The Bigots are Rising!', 'The Yankee Boy', 'The Union Must and Shall be Preserved', 'The Union Volunteer', 'The Union Root Hog or Die', 'Traitor's March to the White-House!'), praising the 69th New York Infantry Regiment ('Welcome our Gallant 69th', 'War Song of the New York 69th Regiment'), celebrating specific historical events of the war ('Warren's Address... Before the Battle of Bunker-Hill', 'The Drummer of Antietam', 'The Battle of Pea-Ridge. By 36th Regiment Illinois Volunteers', 'Battle of Williamsburgh'), and welcoming emancipation ('Where Liberty Dwells, There is My Country', 'The Union Marseillaise', 'Emancipation Hymn for Jan. 1, 1863. Altered to Suit the Occasion by R.H.').
All but one of the ballads were published by H. De Marsan of Chatham Street, N.Y., the exception being 'Emancipation Songs' printed "For Sale at the Anglo-African Office, 48 Beekman St., NY". This broadside includes four songs, two of which are by Robert Hamilton, the co-founder with this brother Thomas of the Anglo-African magazine, one of the first illustrated African-American publications.
