Harry H. Hall The revised edition of a text originally published in 1963, this book explores the history of the Twenty-sixth Regimental Band, North Carolina Troops, C.S.A., which was composed of Moravian musicians from Salem. The first section discusses Moravian musical traditions during the 18th and the first half of the 19th centuries. The second part traces the band’s Confederate service, including participation in the Battles of New Bern, Malvern Hill, and Gettysburg. Profusely illustrated with pictures of Salem, band members, instruments, sheet music, and maps, this new title also contains twenty-seven sketches of camp life, not previously published. The sketches were drawn by Alexander C. Meinung, a member of the Twenty-sixth Regimental Band, and record various field scenes during the band’s military service. The striking cover of the book features a photograph of the eight original band members taken in Salem on their first furlough during July and August 1862. Paperbound. Pp. xix, 288. Illus. Index.
