[Back Creek Books]

Greetings Booklovers,

We are pleased to offer:
~
(No. 11228 )  Randall, Jas [James]. R[yder]. (1839-1908), Music by P. P. W. 
THE POPULAR CAMP SONG MARYLAND, [MY] MARYLAND: A PATRIOTIC SONG [COVER 
TITLE].
New Orleans: P. P. Werlein & Halsey, (1862). Sheet music, Folio, [3 pages]. 
Near Fine.
      Early Confederate imprint of one of the South's most popular songs 
during the Civil War. Randall, a native Marylander living in New Orleans, 
was inspired by his outrage over Union troops firing on civilians in the 
streets of Baltimore in the first days of the war as they tried to reach and 
defend the capital at Washington. Contains 9 verses of lyrics in all. 
Confederate copyright statement at bottom of first page. This became the 
official state song of Maryland in 1939, though the lyrics refer to Abraham 
Lincoln as a tyrant and a despot, and the Union as "Northern scum." 
Excellent condition overall with some light browning, a couple of faint 
creases, a few very short edge tears, and a couple of small holes. Hinged 
with new cloth. Quite scarce....... $500.00
