Historians of the Civil War Documentary and Music as History

Before Ken Burns, I must admit I never read these authors.  Now I will look them out.
Shelby Foot, Barbara J. Fields, Ed Bearss and Stephen B. Oates are just a few
And voices now gone forever...Shelby Foot died 2005.  http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4721849

And for further study http://www.amazon.com/Civil-War-Traditional-Instrumental-Soundtrack/dp/B000005J0O
which is the soundtrack of the series.  What to study further are the song books after the war where song titled, 'Oh what was your name in the States?'
