Hold on Abraham! (1 Viewer)

[jazzeum]

We’re going down to Dixie, to Dixie, to Dixie,
We’re going down to Dixie, to fight for the dear old Flag;

And should we fall in Dixie, in Dixie, in Dixie,
And should we fall in Dixie, we’ll die for the dear old Flag.

Hold on Abraham,
Never say die to your Uncle Sam;
Uncle Sam’s boys are coming right along,
Six hundred thousand strong.

-- William Bradbury, 1862







"Hold on Abraham" was a popular song written in 1862 and was a hit for Wood's Minstrels.



2nd Wisconsin Volunteers by First Legion from their American Civil War range.

If you go to 3:16 of this video, you can hear Hold on Abraham; a very catchy tune.

Thanks Matt. The first and third are the same photo. I took it a little farther way and the figures came out not as sharp as the second one, which actually made it look more realistic.

I'm a born sucker for any ACW Diorama and those FL Iron Brigade figures individually speak for themselves. However, your particular grouping/placement of them and additional scenics splendidly brings them alive. Well done Brad very impressive.

Thank you Bob, I very much appreciate it. As the saying goes, even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while.
