In issuing this collection of Songs, the author makes the following acknowledgments: - "The American Ca ira" was suggested while reading the French song of that name, from which song the phrase ca ira alone was appropriated. In "The Song of William the Conqueror," his characteristic oath, "By the splendor of God!" is used. In the "Death Song of the Enfants Perdus," a few remembered lines or fragments have been appropriated from an anonymous and almost forgotten English ballad. "Burke of the Brave Brigade" was written in memory of the late Dennis F. Burke, the last commander of the Irish Brigade in the battle of Gettysburg."

Soldier Songs and Love Songs by A.H. Laidlaw is a collection of songs about the American Civil War. Excerpt: "Foiled on the field with his dead boys around him, All waiting for Earth to recover her own, Fortune hath missed him, but Glory hath found him While fighting a thousand fierce foemen alone. Custer's the right wing, the left, and the center, Himself is his only reserve and supply. This is a battle for Spartans to enter, Where One makes an army to conquer or die."
