A good war-date printed Northern "Liberty and Union Forever" series penny song sheet, ca. 1861, 1p. 8vo., entitled: "The Union Soldiers' Song," composed by Lt. James D. Gay of the Ringgold Artillery of Reading, printed in red and blue ink, published by James Magee, Philadelphia, reading, in part: "Hurrah for our brave Pennsylvanias. To their flag they are always so true. Hurrah for Abe and his generals. Three cheers for the Red, White and Blue…brave baker, Lyon and Ellsworth our hearts would forever upbraid…we've sons in land of the Rebels. Our banners is proudly displayed. On the battle field full of great danger. It waves over the Keystone Brigade…like Bakers' brave soldiers…may it now and forever be said that none but brave hearts are wanted in the ranks of the Keystone Brigade…". Many more patriotic verses while meant to be a letter sheet with blank page attached. VG.
