Union general (1820–1892). Sweeny participated in the capture of Camp Jackson, successfully defended the Union line at Shiloh, commanded troops in the Atlanta Campaign, intercepted John B. Hood’s attach at the Battle of Atlanta, and broke protocol when he broke neutrality laws between the US and Britain after his Fenian invasion of Canada, for which he was acquitted. Sheet music for ‘General Sweeny’s Grand March,’ two pages, 10.25 x 13, featuring a colored image of General Sweeny and three vignettes of Wilson’s Creek, Corinth, and Shiloh. Published by John J. Daly of New York. In very good condition, with scattered mild toning and rubbing, a light adhesive remnant towards the top edge, a small tear to the right edge, and a rough left edge.
