Ashokan Farewell, a fiddle tune composed by Jay Unger for the Ken Burns Civil War documentary has often been confused with being a civil war era tune.

The tune was written as a farewell waltz at the annual Ashokan Fiddle & Dance Camps, run by the composer and his wife, at the lakefront campus (near Ashokan Reservoir) of the State University of New York at New Paltz.

It was then later used for the Ken Burns documentary.
