Annotation:Libby Prison Quickstep

LIBBY PRISON QUICKSTEP. American, March. The tune shares at least a first strain with "O Dear Mother My Toes Are Sore (2)", "Jinny O Jinny My Toes Are Sore," "Monongahela March," "Rustic Reel (1)," "Virginia Reel (3)," "First Western Change," "City Guards," and others. Libby prison was a notorious Civil War military prison where captured Southern soldiers were held, but it was not quite as infamous as the Confederates' Andersonville.
