There's a sense of excitement a crime historian experiences when one discovers something that has fallen between the cracks. As a historical detective, I can unequivocally state that discoveries are few and far between. So when one learns anything new there's certainly cause to celebrate. In commemoration of the Sesquicentennial, the 150th year anniversary of the Civil War, herein are some items of interest from the lost and found of history as follows:

Dixie Doodling & Killing Time

Yes, Virginia, there was actually a tune called “Dixie Doodle”. Written in 1862 as a sendup of “Yankee Doodle”, by a Southern Belle from New Orleans named Margaret Weir, it had lyrical jewels like “Yankee Doodle, fair thee well, Ere long you'll be forgotten, While Dixie's notes shall gaily float, Throughout the land of cotton”.

“Battle Hymn of the Republic”, an adaption of “Glory Hallelujah” arranged by William Steffe with words written by Mrs. Dr. S. G. Howe, better known as Julia Ward Howe, was published in February of 1862. The stirring song with its religious and military overtones was a hit with Northern troops. However, the superstitious Union soldiers quickly changed the line from “let us ‘die’ to make men free” to “let us ‘live’ to make men free”.
