I enjoy listening to music from different historical time periods, and lately I have been listening to civil war music. Some of the songs here will be easily recognizable, others are much more obscure.

N40 AB.CDE W105 FG.HJK

L

The man who wrote the song played in recording L was born October A, 1832, and died June 8, 188B. This song was played so much around General William T. Sherman that he grew to hate it.

M

The song in recording M was used by the campaign of the winner of the 18C0 presidential election. It was so popular that the publisher ran D4 printing presses and still could not keep up with the demand for the music.

N

The lyrics of the song in recording N have references from Isaiah E3 and Revelation 1G

F=0

Q

When Union Major General Benjamin Butler captured New Orleans, he allegedly arrested the author of the song in recording Q, fined him $H00, and ordered that anyone caught whistling or singing the song would be fined $2J (roughly $500 in the 1860s)

R

The author of the song in recording was born on Christmas day, 182K.

I didn't think I would enjoy this puzzle but I did. It was interesting and a little challenging. Found the cache today after a thunderstorm swept the area. Cheers.

{FTF} @ 4:20 pm. Found with REW9828. We enjoyed listening to the music and figuring out the puzzle. I grew up in Kansas and have a friend that does Civil War reenactments and he was an extra in the movie " Ride With The Devil". TFTC
