An attractive red, white and blue Northern song sheet, 1p. 8vo., published by Magee, Philadelphia, 1865, with an American flag at both upper corners, entitled: "Liberty and Union Forever. SONG, On The Death of President Abraham Lincoln." The song written by Silas S. Steele, reads, in part: "Halls and Homes in black are shrouded, our joys are turned to woe. Hearts and eyes in grief are clouded, A Nation's sad tears now flow o'er the the Chief her hope and pride; for the Savior of the Union by treason's hand has died…in dangers' darkest hour he proved his country's shield against foul treason's power…'Father Abraham Lincoln" for Freedom lived and died. The Great Emancipator! Whose severed Slavery's Chain is by a dastard traitor and vile assassin slain…come bind his brows with laurel, place the olive on his heart and in the free earth lay him in Honor's shroud to rest…". Near fine.
