I have loved this thread-I became interested in the American civil war when I went to Gettysburg 10 years ago and have a complete set of the videos of Ken Burns amazing documentary. My most treasured possession is a book edited by Walter Lowenfels called Walt Whitman's Civil War -recounting his experience of tragedy and death. My personal hero is Joseph Chamberlain for his stand at Little Round Top -was there any songs specifically written about the Battle of Gettysburg???
