By Liz Bulkley on Monday, August 20, 2007.

The New Hampshire Historical Society is home to a rare set of military music books from the 1800s. We'll sample a new recording of the songs within, and we'll delve into the history and unique instrumentation behind Civil War bands.

Our guest is music historian Rich Spicer.
