A good war-date printed (in red) Northern penny song sheet, ca., 1864, 1p. 8vo., entitled: "The Battle of Winchester, September 19th, 1864. Dedicated To The 6th and 19th Army Corps." Emblazoned with an American flag and eagle at the top with words written by Pvt. William T. Haroff, Co. K, 126th Ohio Vols., published by G. P. Hardwick, Washington, reading, in part: "It was September 19th…when our boys at Winchester with Sheridan led the van; We charged the Rebs' position and nobly won the day, Crooks' boys with Wright's and Emory's were also in the fray…on Fisher's Hill we gained some ground and Wright he got in…the old 6th Corps…always fight to win…then Crook with his men came up to share the laurels…soon drove them from the mountain ridge and whipped the rebel band…now Emory…received the shock and held the centre firm…till from each rampart, spur, and peak waved the stripes and stars again." Near fine and complete with the original unused letter sheet attached.
