Our Country's Flag

[10th Michigan Infantry]

An online friend of mine recently made me aware of a song called Our Country's Flag composed by Harry McCarthy in 1867, it is a parody of another, more famous song by McCarthy, the Bonnie Blue Flag. The song promotes a spirit of reconciliation, with lyrics such as "Give one cheer for General Grant and a hearty one for Lee".
