"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.

    *can't breathe laughing too hard*

    "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.
