      Came across this period parody tune today, and thought about the flies at the firepit behind the Dunker Church:

      LOUISVILLE DAILY JOURNAL, October 6, 1862. – Courtesy of Robin Schwartz.

      (To the tune of Old Christmas Tree)

      "MY MARYLAND.

      The rebel feet are on our shore,
      Maryland! My Maryland!
      I smell 'em half a mile and more,
      Maryland! My Maryland!

      Their shoeless hordes are at my door,
      Their drunken Generals on my floor,
      What now can sweeten Baltimore?
      Maryland! My Maryland!

      Hark to our nose's dire appeal,
      Maryland! My Maryland!
      Oh, unwashed rebs, to you we kneel,
      Maryland! My Maryland!

      If you can't purchase soap, oh steal
      That precious article - I feel
      Like scratching from the head to heel.
      Maryland! My Maryland!

      You're covered thick with mud and dust,
      Maryland! My Maryland!
      As though you'd been upon a bust,
      Maryland! My Maryland!

      Remember, it is scarcely just
      To have a filthy fellow thrust
      Before us, till he's been scrubb'd fust,
      Maryland! My Maryland!

      I see no blush upon thy cheek,
      Maryland! My Maryland!
      It's not been washed for many a week,
      Maryland! My Maryland!

      To get thee clean - 'tis truth I speak -
      Would dirty every stream and creek
      From Potomac to Chesapeake,
      Maryland! My Maryland!

      Thou wilt not yield the Yankee toll,
      Maryland! My Maryland!
      Nor stoop to honor's stern control,
      Maryland! My Maryland!

      Better to murder, rob and roll
      In gutters, vanquished by the bowl,
      THAN ELEVATE THE SOUTHERN SOUL,
      Maryland! My Maryland!

      Come, 'tis the ruddy dawn of day,
      Maryland! My Maryland!
      So scratch yourselves and haste away,
      Maryland! My Maryland!

      I cannot ask ye, rebs, to stay,
      For Burnside's coming up this way,
      And there would be the devil to pay,
      Maryland! My Maryland!

      Go - you have stolen shoes quite strong,
      Maryland! My Maryland!
      Stealing, my rebs, is very wrong,
      Maryland! My Maryland!

      But you were such a ragged throng,
      Hatless and breechless - go along,
      And let me sing in peace my song,
      Maryland! My Maryland!

      I hear brave Burnside's fife and drum,
      Maryland! My Maryland!
      Newburn and Roanoke prove him some.
      Maryland! My Maryland!

      He'll give you fits, you trait'rous scum.
      He'll send to you to the world to come,
      Send you to ---- , your native "hum"
      Not Maryland! Not Maryland!"

        Question: Is this event for Federals or Confederates?

              Just so there's no confusion, the Confederate portion of this gig is not an "open" event.....Jerry Stiles

                Re: Antietam NPS LH August 08

                Hi gents,

                Registration for federal - 6th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry is limited to invited units only (ONV, Southern Guard, & Columbia Rifles) due to limitations on numbers and a proven track record on portraying the men of Gibbon's Western Brigade accurately. Steve Acker (Primary POC) and myself have tried not to hype the event here as we knew from the early planning stages that the NPS could only handle so many gents. We apologize for any inconvenience but that is the truth to the limitations.

                Thank you all for your interest.

                Tom
