SOLDIER SONG - DEBBIE LEVY GEBUNDEN

Amid the fearsome battles of the Civil War  both Union and Confederate soldiers were urged
onward by song.There were songs to wake them up and songs to call them to bed Songs to ready
them for battle and to signal their retreat Songs to tell them that their side was right  and
the other wrong . . .And there was one song that reminded them all of what they hoped to return
to after the war.Defeated in the battle of Fredericksburg  Virginia  the Union soldiers
retreated across the river. There  a new battle emerged as both armies volleyed competing songs
back and forth. With the Christmas season upon them  however  Federals and Confederates longed
for the same thing. As the notes of Home  Sweet Home rose up from both sides  they found common
ground for one night.Interwoven with soldiers' letters and journal entries  this is a true
story of duty and heartbreak  of loyalty and enemies  and of the uniting power of music. Debbie
Levy's moving text and Gilbert Ford's vibrant  layered illustrations come together to create an
unforgettable tale of American history.
