Flowers of the Union

 

Patriotic Civil War Sheet Music, 1863 – Dedicated to Col. Chas. P. Dare, 23rd Pennsylvania Volunteers.

 

Patriotic sheet music titled “Flowers of the Union” by J.C. Beckel, published in Philadelphia by Marsh, 1102 Chestnut Street, 1863. The cover features a beautifully rendered American flag in color and ornate typography, reflecting the high patriotic spirit of the Union home front during the height of the war.

 

The piece bears a period ink inscription, “Maggie Donnel / 1863,” adding rich historic resonance to this example. The dedication to Colonel Charles P. Dare of the 23rd Pennsylvania Volunteers, a regiment known for its service with the Army of the Potomac, ties the piece directly to one of the war’s most gallant Pennsylvania commands.

 

An emotionally charged piece of Civil War patriotism, blending art, music, and the human touch of wartime dedication—an ideal display item for any serious Civil War or Gettysburg-era collection.
