Index of Hymns Published in Hymn Collections
for Northern and Southern Soldiers in the American Civil War
This first-‐line index includes hymns from the collections catalogued at http://markrhoads.com/soldiershymns/index.htm. I compiled the index for my own research purposes and not to provide a finished document for the public. In order to make sorting uniform, for instance, I have omitted punctuation and some capitalization, converted “Oh” to “O,” and made other alterations. Spelling may be faulty. Author-‐attribution research was done hastily and should not be relied upon for accuracy. In addition, there are instances when two different hymns have the same first line. I have not carefully check for this although occurrences are few. Other minor inaccuracies no doubt exist.
Hymn Collection Abbreviations
Collections marked “not indexed” were either not available for examination or are collections published before the war and mentioned as having been distributed to soldiers but not compiled specifically for soldiers. Specifics can be found on the website.
