Dunkle Lyr Add: The Veterans of '64 (US Civil War song) (8) Civil War song - 'Vets of '64' 13 Nov 01

I just inherited some previously-unknown-to-me Civil War era letters from my 16 year-old relative in the 51 NY volunteers, many from his location at the siege of Petersburg, VA, to his mom and sisters back home in Brooklyn. Interesting stuff! Anyway, one of the letters is written on paper on which is written the words of a song "The Veterans of '64", sung to the air of "The Enniskillen Dragoon". I've done a Google search, and found a midi file that lets me listen to the melody, but I can't tell if "The Veterans of '64" is a known entity or not. Is there anyone on mudcat with the expertise to help me with context? Would it be useful to someone for me to post the words somewhere? Thanks, Don H.
