This
popular Civil War song was written by Walter Kittredge in 1862, shortly after
he entered the Union Army; but Kittredge could not get it published for two
years, and so it did not start to be sung until 1864. Then it was sung by
everybody—by soldiers on both sides, and by the folks at home, with the result
that the sheet music sale ran into many thousands. http://www.america.eb.com/america/article?articleId=386094
