"Richmond Is A Hard Road To Travel"

     Interesting little Civil War (U.S.) tune:

     Y'get some of the best music from wars but it comes at too high a price.

"But one and all agreed that his best rate of speed
Was no faster than the slowest of 'slow coaches.'"

My God, what a sly little poke at McClellan. Richly deserved, too.

One of my favorites.
And given the traffic on Rt. 234 and I-66 getting to Manassas is no easier now that in 1861.

Stretch, I have a cousin who lives in Manassas, and I know exactly what you mean.

Hmmph - only heard half the song. 1864-65 was somewhat - different.
