"Book 3, Part 1"
Scope and Contents
Alice Brady Beckmann’s Collection consists primarily of poems and songs of the period surrounding the American Civil War, mostly between the 1840 and 1890. The material was transcribed by Ms. Beckmann from period magazines, newspapers and other public sources as well as from scrapbooks, account books and other personal sources. Although the authors are often noted, much of the material is unattributed. Ms. Beckmann’s collection also reflects her keen interest in the origin of the patriotic song, “Yankee Doodle” with considerable material on that topic.
