My dad, J. Loyd Davis, began collecting sheet music in the 1960's up until his passing in 2011. For the first time since his passing, I will be making some of his ABSOLUTE BEST and RAREST pre-1900 sheet music from his 45+ year collection of >10,000 pieces of sheet music available for sale on Ebay.
I am a longtime seller on eBay with a 100% feedback rating.
YOU ARE BUYING a RARE piece of sheet music from 1864 celebrating "Stonewall Jackson's Way" published by the notorious confederate New Orleans publisher A.E. Blackmar and featuring an iconic portrait of Confederate General Stonewall Jackson. In 1863 the Union authorities issued a "special order" that declared "the publication and sale of secession music is considered ... evil, incendiary, and not for the public good." Blackmar was imprisoned in 1862 when Union authorities captured New Orleans. After his release Blackmar fled to Augusta, Georgia and continued to publish music, like the item offered here, that was sympathetic to confederacy.
This sheet music is about is about 10" x 13" and is in overall good condition including the lithograph on the front cover. PLEASE CAREFULLY REVIEW THE DETAILED HIGH-RESOLUTION PHOTOS TO ASSESS THE QUALITY AND CONDITION OF THIS SHEET MUSIC. PLEASE SEND ME ANY QUESTIONS IF THE CONDITION OF THE ITEM IS DOUBT. This would look great in a frame and is the perfect gift for any civil war enthusiast or historian.
I have hundreds of rare, pre-1900 sheet music from my dad's 45+ year collection that I hope to sell as time allows in the next several years. So be sure to save me on your Ebay's seller list if you want to keep informed of my latest offerings!!
