Good Old Songs We Used to Sing, '61 to '65

The Good Old Songs We Used to Sing, '61 to '65, dedicated to the veterans of the War of the Rebellion, is a curated collection of songs popular during the American Civil War era. First published in 1882, this edition preserves a valuable piece of Americana, reflecting the sentiments, patriotism, and experiences of a nation divided. Compiled by Osborn Hamiline Oldroyd, the songbook offers a window into the musical landscape that accompanied one of the most pivotal periods in United States history.

Featuring lyrics and, in some cases, musical notation, the collection includes both well-known and lesser-known pieces, providing insight into the popular culture that sustained soldiers and civilians alike through years of conflict. This edition serves as a poignant reminder of the power of music to unite, inspire, and console during times of strife.
