Handwritten Music Book c 1870s Buffalo NY Star Spangled Banner Anna Berkhausen

Description: Original Hand-written Music Teacher’s Notebook, circa 1872-1880. Undated, but the presence of the “Arbor Day Song” would suggest a date no earlier than 1872, while local records suggest a date no later than 1880, as it seems Ms. Berkhausen moved out of the Western New York area around this time.
