IRON BRIGADE OLD SOLDIER FIDDLERS ~ CONFEDERATE & UNION VETERANS
|
|
|
UNUSED ~ Postcard of Vaudeville's Greatest Novelty Act ~ Two Boys in Blue and Two Sons of Dixie ~ Colonel J.A. Pattee, Originator and Director, Ex-Union Soldier, 24th Michigan Iron Brigade ~ Pattee lived in Hutington, West Virginia after the war. Great GAR-UCV postcard..Sometime before 1904, John Pattee promoted himself to Colonel and formed a Vaudeville act called the Old Soldiers Fiddlers. John came up with the idea of creating a band composed of himself, two union veterans and two confederate veterans. Their performances consisted mainly of civil war era ballads and reels. Apparently none of the group, including John, could read music. Most, if not all of their billing indicates that they were "Vaudeville's Greatest Novelty Act." It seems that John Pattee was a self-promoter in more than one sense. The Old Soldiers are known to have performed in the Iron Brigade tent at the 50th Anniversary Reunion at Gettysburg in July 1913. THIS CARD IS FROM THE 1915-1916 SEASON. ~ LIGHT EDGE WEAR WITH SMALL DOG EAR AT BOTTOM LEFT
