While transcribing the Civil War diary of Betty Herndon Maury who was
living in Fredericksburg VA, I camed across the following passage dated
Sunday, April 20, 1862:

I heard the Yankees this evening with their full brass band
playing ‘Yankee Doodle’ and ‘the star spangled banner’.  I could not
realize that they were enemies and invaders.  The old tunes brought back
recollections of the old love for them.  It was a sad and painful feeling.
