Summary:
"1865 focuses on the personal experience of men, women, and children from the North and from the South, toward the end of the Civil War and its immediate aftermath -- as told in songs originally written for the stage and for the parlor, and in songs and instrumental tunes from the hills and back roads of America"--Booket, page 5.
