War of the Rebellion Box

Connfederate has just placed a new box called War of the Rebellion: Tenting Tonight on the Old Camp Ground.

This box, located in Coventry, CT, is the second of an "occasional expanding series" featuring martial lyrics from the Civil War. This particular song as recounted by Paul Glass in "A History of the Civil War in Song, Singing Soldiers" was ". . .one of the most popular songs on both sides. It is reported that its appeal was so strong that officers had to restrain their men from singing it at night because they would divulge their positions on the field.”

Let's hope this box is as popular as the song it represents and we look forward to additional historical boxes inspired by the music of the Civil War.
