Colored lithographic Broadside, ca. 1863, from “500 Illustrated Ballads” published by Charles Magnus, New York. 1 page, featuring scenic litho of Harrisburg [Bridgeport], PA, in upper margin and song lyrics below; measuring 8.25 x 5.25”, with four verses. Exhibits fold-mark and three miniscule spots of foxing. Else fine. 

1^st verse: 

“Tis many days since I left home

To join our glorious army,

I thought but of my country’s call,

And not of what might harm me,

I vowed to join both heart and hand

Where duty calls you’ll find me, 

I left my home, and shed a tear

For the girl I left behind me.”

This song was one of the half dozen most popular tunes in both Civil War armies. Fine collectible.
