About This Item
Philadelphia: Published by Mason & Co., 1864.. 16pp. 16mo. Original pictorial wrappers. Wrappers soiled and stained. Largely clean internally. Advertisements on rear wrapper shaved slightly at outer edge, as issued. Good plus. A pocket songster printed to support Lincoln's reelection campaign in 1864, featuring a rather youthful portrait of the president on the front wrapper and twelve spirited, pro-Union songs. The titles, largely military in theme, include such works as "Give us Noble Leaders," "The Veteran Volunteer," "Cast Your Votes for Abraham" ("For Lincoln or McClellan, you'll be called on to decide,/ The one to save the union, the other to divide"), and "We are Coming, Father Abraham, 600,000 More." The advertisements on the rear wrapper encourage readers to purchase a wide variety of Lincoln campaign badges, emblems, pins, and photographs from the publishers. Despite Lincoln's overwhelming electoral victory in 1864, the race was rather close in Pennsylvania where this was printed - Lincoln took Philadelphia County by a scant few percent, and actually failed to secure a majority in neighboring Montgomery and Bucks counties. MONAGHAN 323.
