The battle of Cedar Creek, fought in the Shenandoah Valley on October 19, 1864, was a costly engagement on both sides.
Private J. Pressley of the 3rd Alabama Volunteer Infantry Regiment, A.N.V. fought and was wounded in the Battle of Cedar Creek.
Pressley, a musician, wrote this historic tune about the battle to memorialize the sacrifices of his fellow soldiers.
The source for the tune "Battle of Cedar Creek" is Howard Zane, who learned it in the late 1940s in Warren, New Hampshire, from his "Uncle Bob" Pressley. Bob, a talented banjo player, and singer is the son of Private J. Pressley.
I had the pleasure of talking with Howard about this song and his interesting story.
