Wow, ziemlich krasse Bilder. Wie bist du denn auf die Alben gestoßen?

Diesmal hats nichts mit Bildern zu tun:

The songs of the Civil War appeared in three major forms. The greatest numbers by far were song sheets, or "penny ballads," as they were also called, with new, topical lyrics put to traditional airs. [...]
Much the same kind of material--old favorites and contemporary lyrics put to familiar airs--appeared in pocket-sized song books or "songsters," as they were called. Like song sheets, they had been around before the war, but publishers North and South printed dozens of these inexpensive collections for a new market, with titles such as The Camp-fire Companion; A Choice Collection of Songs for the Soldier (1861), Songs of the Soldiers (1864), and The Campfire Songster (1862). The subtitle of The Heart and Home Songster (1862) sums up
nicely the many types of songs that these collections offered and the variety of emotional responses to the war: "Containing a choice collection of songs of the affections, and embracing all the most popular and fashionable, comic, convivial, moral, sentimental and patriotic songs." Inexpensive, small, and thus easy to carry, these collections had a meaningful place in the daily lives of soldiers. "We kept song books with us and passed much of our leisure time singing," a Virginia soldier wrote; "I carried my book even through prison and brought it home with me" (Wiley 1943, 379 n. 5).
