When the Civil War broke out in 1861, 'The Battle Cry of Freedom' became perhaps the most common patriotic song echoing throughout the North. The author of that tune was George F Root, and his many other patriotic songs established him as 'the musician of the people.' This biography follows Root through his prewar career as a popular composer.
