Description:
Boston: Ticknor and Company, 1889. First Ticknor and Co. edition of Henry Clay Work's greatest hit, "Marching Through Georgia", inspired by Sherman's march to the sea at the end of 1864. Octavo, original cloth, illustrated. In good condition. In 1865, American composer and songwriter Henry Clay Work wrote his greatest hit, "Marching Through Georgia", inspired by Sherman's march to the sea at the end of the previous year. Thanks to its lively melody, the song was immensely popular, its million sheet-music sales being unprecedented. It is a cheerful marching song and has since been pressed into service many times, including by Princeton University as a football fight song. Timothy Shay Arthur's play Ten Nights in a Barroom, had Work's 1864 "Come Home, Father", a dirgesome song bemoaning the demon drink: too mawkish for modern tastes, but always sung at Temperance Meetings.
