Watch and hear “The Brass - Mounted Army!” A famous, and comical song detailing the hardships of camp life in the Union Army - from whiskey to poultry - during the American Civil War. This song is the northern counterpart of “The Southern Wagon,” a popular Confederate song, which in turn, borrowed its tune from “Wait for the wagon!” What a history, for one catchy piece of music!
“Brass - Mounted Army,” - Performed by the 97th Regimental Stringband
“Waiting on the Federals,” - Performed by the 2nd South Carolina Stringband
