Now listing a very interesting and scarce collection of sheet music. These pieces all belonged to a lady that acquired and played them during the Civil War. All marks and notations made on them were made by her and occasionally another family member and the person who wrote " compliments of " and their initials.
Her name was Mary Belle Pilcher (Sometimes signed Molly Belle Pilcher) and she wrote her name on many of the pieces along with " Bleake Hill, Henrico County". She went on to marry a Confederate soldier after the war was over. His name was John H.He wrote an acclaimed book about his time in the war called " One of Jackson's Foot Calvary ". His uniform was found in the same house as the sheet music. One piece has a dedication from the author to a Captain in the Confederate Army. There is also a group of handwritten copies of music and poems and such. Please check my other listings for these items.
This just has so much going for it. A Confederate Navy sheet music piece complete bound 2 sheets, very nice, Miss Pilcher's name light pencil, " compliments of " light pencil, 12 by 10 inches.
