Corbit's Charge and Music of the Civil War 

The Hancock Civil War String Band places songs of the Civil War within an historical narrative that takes you on a musical tour of the terrible conflict. The band has created a narrative that tells the story: of the Civil War, slavery, Lincoln, Clara Barton, Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, the conduct of the war and the effects of the war. With a letter from Clara Barton or an interesting story from a soldier’s diary they show how these Civil War songs can still have meaning today.
