    Thanks for sharing this! It's one of those small little War "relics" that many, if not all of us, would never have known about, nor heard, until your posting of it. Best regards.

        Has to be one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. It brings tears to my eyes. Thanks, Caleb Lewis

          Thanks for posting this. It is very eerie and awesome to hear these folks. I wonder how many other recordings are out there? I remember seeing some black and white movie footage of memorial events in Ken Burn's documentary of the Civil War. It would be incredible to actually hear an interview from a veteran.

            I just checked Ancestry.com and I believe this man might have been Laurentine Higby of the 1st NY Light Artillery. His pension record lists his "alias" as Lauren Higby.
