Description
Forgive me, don't have the book right in front of me. Will do the best I can from memory.
o
It's about 80? pages long (longer than the regular editions they put out) and features patriotic songgs about America and war. Other publications are advertised the back and I've found some of those online- "Columbia's Pride" and "The Hummer" are two of the titles mentioned. The cover is made from a cardboard-like material and is a deep shade of red with whimsical script. It's bound with what looks like black tape? Overall it's in amazingly good condition. Binding is tight, all pages present, no bends or tears, cover is totally readable and barely worn. I was honestly shocked to see the year of publication.
These don't appear to be "hymns" in the sense that the theme is not religious, it's patriotic. I'm confused about the possible value because the Echo Music Company journals go for $15 or so and another book entitled "Grand Army Songster" seems quite expensive ($100-$150).
Has anyone ever heard of this?
