A good war-date printed Northern penny song sheet, ca. 1865, 1p. 8vo., entitled: "GENERAL LOGAN and the FIFTEENTH ARMY CORPS" composed by Capt. Richard W. Burt, 76th Ohio Vols. [WIA Resaca, Ga., 5/14/64], printed in blue ink, published by Charles Magnus, N. Y. C., reading, in part: "Oh, did you see the flying Johnnies…they picked up their guns and left very sudden. And soon we gave chase. The Rebs have heard of John A. Logan, with mustache on his face. There's not a rebel in the Dixie nation but quickly gave him place…our [Corps] badge the U. S. Cartridge Box with the "forty rounds" to spare…and about two inches square. The Johnnies know the Fifteenth Corps. They know the badge means war…down the river, in Mississippi. We cleaned the rebels out…the rebel works about Atlanta defied us for awhile. But when they charged on John A. Logan. They learned his fighting style…we'll vanquish Lee and rebel legions and we'll soon close the war…they'll fight us soon no more. They must have heard that Logan is a coming with his Fifteenth Corps." Near fine with Kean Archive, Phila. stamp on the verso.
