A selection from the contemporary Satirical writing of Artemus Ward; Petroleum V. Nasby; Bill Arp; and "A Disbanded Volunteer" Read by David Cort. The 1840's - 60's was a golden age of American satire and burlesque humor, and in their sometimes bitter writings there is a history, an irreverent, uncivil history, of the Civil War. As one writer put it, "...the spirit of burlesque was abroad in the land like a powerful genie let out of a windbag."
