5.0 out of 5 stars
Invaluable resource for scholars/teachers of music/history,
By Yvonne Caruthers (Arlington, VA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Music for Patriots, Politicians, and Presidents (Hardcover)
I'm trying to get a copy of this book for my own library because I keep referring to it so often. If you teach history and are looking for a way to make it come alive for your classes, try this book (if you can get it--check a good university library). You will find songs that the patriots sang during the Revolutionary War, songs from the Civil War, and songs from presidential campaigns. The pictures are invaluable, gleaned from libraries by the author, a renowned historian in this area. This huge book covers a large time span, but doesn't spare the details that make history "live" in a different era. I think this book is a must for anyone entering the interdisciplinary field in a serious way.
