Then cheer for a nation's pride in veteran volunteers
The piece extols the Seventeenth Corps and veteran volunteers marching from the North to defend the Union. It recounts marches through winter and summer, with choruses of cheer, and promises of reunion, honor to leaders, and renewed allegiance to the flag amid Civil War battles and the fall of Sumter. It also includes a polemic against Copperhead claims about who began the war and notes military camps at Berwick and Brashear City with mention of officers and regiments.
