Sheet music for "Camp McCod, Schottish," composed and dedicated to the officers and members of the Mobile Cadets by Joseph Bloch. Published in 1851. This six-page piece of sheet music is in very good condition. The Mobile Cadets served in the Mexican War, the Civil War, and the Spanish-American War. Joseph Bloch, a musician who emigrated from Bingen on the Rhine to Mobile, Alabama in 1848, was a bugler with an artillery unit and blew the bugle at the Battle of Mobile Bay. He published a significant amount of Civil War music and, along with Newburger, was among the first music teachers in Alabama, later establishing the state's first music store.
