Summary "The Good Old Songs We Used to Sing, '61 to '65" by Osborn H. Oldroyd is a collection of Civil War songs published in the early 20th century. The book serves as a nostalgic look back at the music that carried soldiers and civilians through the emotional tumult of the Civil War years. Oldroyd gathers a variety of lyrics that reflect the spirit of the time, capturing the sentiments of hope, patriotism, and remembrance associated with this significant period in American history. The book is a compilation of lyrics to popular songs sung by Union soldiers and represents a blend of joy, sorrow, and fervor tied to the Civil War experience. Each song is accompanied by a brief introduction or context, illuminating its purpose and place in the lives of those who sang it. The collection features well-known pieces such as "Marching Through Georgia," "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," and "When Johnny Comes Marching Home," illustrating themes of struggle, sacrifice, and resilience in the face of adversity. Ultimately, Oldroyd's work preserves the musical heritage of the Civil War, creating a poignant tribute to those who lived through those turbulent years. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
