Title	Raw recruits
Description	Cover depicts caricatures of five African-American soldiers, three with bayonets, one playing a drum, and one holding a sign reading "Raw Recruits, Capt. Dan Bryant." They appear hapless and comically inept. They are lined up in front of tents in camp. Below title: "or Abraham's Daughter, as sung with great applause by Bryants Minstrels of New York."
Historical note	This song was written by Septimus Winner (1827-1902), a prominent nineteenth-century songwriter. He also wrote under the pseudonyms of Alice Hawthorne, Percy Guyer, Mark Mason, Apsley Street, and Paul Stenton.
