Once again I am craving some new music for my fingers. I am looking for some lesser known music, specifically music composed during the American Civil war. I am a sucker for waltzes. Help.

Daisy Deane 1863 by 2 members of 14th and 19th Regiments Massachusetts Volunteers
Faded Coat of Blue also 1863 (?), the name eludes me right now

I’m not into civil war reenactment but I am a long time buckskinner (pre 1840) so hello brother. I’m not sure of the year it was written but Southern Soldier Boy is a tune I like to play. It has lyrics and a beautiful melody but could be played as a waltz. You may already be familiar with it though.

I've used the following link for various sites at the Library of Congress to find old sheet music

Sorry that the link line is not completed highlighted. I guess you'll have to copy and paste the entire link.
