A good war-date printed Northern penny song sheet, ca., 1861, 1p. 8vo., entitled: "By The Sad Potomac Shore, or the Death of Col. Baker," published by Charles A. Warden, Philadelphia, reading, in part: "Down along the sad Potomac…boldly marched the men of battle…Colonel o'er that swelling water why…lead your men to slaughter…there was no retreat behind you and a strengthened foe before…but you fought them with your number while your braves in death now slumber…dying with the arms they bore…still their fate was yours brave colonel…and we prize thee still the more. Now beside those turbid waters sit…fathers-mothers-daughters…waiting for some loved one with their hearts bereaved and sore…and gaze toward the southern shore…". VG to near fine.
