RIDING A RAID
Музыка
Published by J. W. Randolph in Richmond in 1863. The composer was not credited. The melody is from the Scottish tune Bonnie Dundee.
This song chronicles some of the exploits of fabled rebel cavalry commander, J.E.B. Stuart, specifically his 1862 screening movement during Confederate General R.E. Lee’s Sharpsburg/Antietam Campaign. In the fall of that year, Lee’s strategic plans and dispositions had accidentally fallen into the hands of Union General George B. McClellan. Stuart’s screening mission was crucial in buying Gen. Lee enough time to concentrate his scattered forces in preparation for meeting the much larger Union army in battle near Antietam Creek in Maryland. This inconclusive meeting on Sept. 17th, 1862, resulted in the single ‘bloodiest day’ in American military history.
Born and raised in Virginia and known to his familiars as ‘Jeb’, Stuart was an 1854 graduate of West Point Military Academy. He had served as a U.S. Army officer in Texas and Kansas and while serving in 1859 under the command of Robert E. Lee, a captain at that time, he played a major part in the capture of the fierce abolitionist, John Brown, at Harper’s Ferry, Virginia. When Virginia seceded in the spring of 1861, Stuart resigned his commission and joined the Confederate army, ultimately being assigned to serve under Stonewall Jackson in the Shenandoah Valley Campaign of 1862.

Wonderful! As I was listening, I couldn't shake the feeling that the tune sounded familiar - then I read the description and realised it was borrowed from 'Bonnie Dundee'. That put a little smile on my face....Americans and Britons really are cultural cousins in so many ways! Love from the UK 🇬🇧❤🇺🇲
