Historical Folk Music. Jim Nelson retells the story of The Battle of Gettysburg in words and music. Kind of like learning and being entertained at the same time.

Details:
I am an elementary school teacher from Menomonie, WI. I'm also a part-time singer/songwriter/musician.

This collection of songs represents over four years of reading and writing and recording. The songs fit together to tell the story of those three bloody days back in the sweltering heat of July, 1863.

*Please Note: No attempt has been made to pass these songs off as "authentic" or "period music". They are a collection of songs I wrote and recorded to help recall the events of the Battle of Gettysburg. While I hope the listener will find them entertaining, there is also an educational purpose as well.

Enjoy the samples! If you like what you hear, you can buy a copy of the CD to have for yourself.
