Soldier Songs and Love Songs

Soldier Songs and Love Songs by A.H. Laidlaw is a collection of songs about the American Civil War. Excerpt: «Foiled on the field with his dead boys around him, All waiting for Earth to recover her own, Fortune hath missed him, but Glory hath found him While fighting a thousand fierce foemen alone. Custer's the right wing, the left, and the center, Himself is his only reserve and supply. This is a battle for Spartans to enter, Where One makes an army to conquer or die.»
