A Civil-War Era Sheet Music Collection by Savage, Hattie M - 0

First Edition . Hardcover. Good. About 60 pieces of music bound into 2 folio volumes by the owner/collector, Hattie Savage. One is still in its original binding; the other we have had rebound in new black textured cloth quite similar to the original, with the original leather piece stamped with the owner's name pasted on the front cover. There are waterstains on the foreedge of many pieces in the rebound volume. The non-rebound volume has a waterstain on the front cover but none inside. It was bound professionally by J.G. Roberts & Co. of Boston, and they provided an engraved Contents page, which has the titles filled in by hand. The other volume has a cruder but still accurate contents page.Includes (those marked with a * have a lithograph on the cover): Dreaming of Home and Mother* (Ordway, 1868), The Swamp Angel (Wilder, 1863), The Moon Is Shining Brightly (Manahan/Turner, 1865), If Your Foot Is Pretty Show It (Bishop, 1857), Our Way across the Sea (?), Down by the River Side I Stray (Morris/Thomas, 1861), Tenting on the Old Camp Ground (Kittredge, 1864), My Mother's Kiss Is on My Brow (Smith/Catlin, 1865), The Maiden's Prayer (Adams/Badarzewska, 1860), There's Beauty Everywhere (Laurence, 1859), Oh!
