content: All of the men represented in folders U-BB were generals for the North or South with the exceptions of Jefferson Davis (President of the Confederacy), Edward Everett (senator, governor, college president and well-known pro-Union orator), and Col. Ellsworth. Ellsworth gained fame for introducing the Zouave drill method and uniform in the United States (there are sheets depicting the Zouave unit in folder W). Ellsworth's was the first well-known Civil War death and most of the songs are a memorial to him. See also folder K on Ellsworth.
