[Confederate Imprint] [Sheet Music] "All Quiet Along the Potomac To-Night." Dedicated to the Unknown Dead of the Present Revolution.

Columbia SC: Julian A. Selby, [1863]? Unbound. Good binding. Item #9212

Folio. 3, [1 (blank)] pp. Confederate imprint. Single bifolium, never bound. Chipping with loss to the inner margin, just touching some of the text on the title page and the music on p. 2; some soiling and toning to the rear blank. In an entry for another edition of this, Parrish & Willingham (6796) note that this was "[p]ublished in the North as 'The picket guard' and as 'The picket's last watch.' Authorship of the poem was long claimed by Lamar Fontaine. It is assigned, however, to Mrs. Ethel Lynn (Eliot) Beers." This imprint is consistent with Parrish & Willingham 6799.

Price: $150.00
