Caption title., Copyright 1861 by William Beschke., "American national songs for the Union! To the Hon. William H. Seward most respectfully dedicated by this devoted and humble friend: William Beschke. Philadelphia, in June, 1861."--p. [4]., With two eagles and one seal on p. [4]., "Every loyal man in the U.S. Militia, Army and Navy, is entitled to one copy gratis, from the War- and Navy-Departments. Such copies for the U.S. Militia, Army and Navy, are for that purpose only and not saleable, printed with two seals, marked W.B., and with one eagle. All saleable copies are printed with one seal, marked W.B., and with two eagles. ... Copies to be had, wholesale and retail, 531 Chestnut-Str., Philadelphia."--p. [1] and p. [4]., The first page contains words and music to six numbered patriotic songs; the second and third pages are identical and each have the caption title "Appendix to six 'American national songs for the Union!' By William Beschke."; the fourth page has the words only to the six numbered songs., William Beschke, the inventor of the breech-loading cannon, was a staunch supporter of the Union cause and published this broadside as a diatribe against Jeff Davis. He wrote derogatory lyrics to a German melody, Hail Columbia, Marseillaise, Haydn's Austrian National, God Save our Noble Queen, and Yankee Doodle. Members of the Union forces were entitled to one free copy from the War and Navy Departments [see 5782.F.4c]., Cataloging funded by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (PW-506-19-10), 2010-2012., Digitized by Alexander Street Press for Images of the American Civil War.
