Wasn't that the "war of northern aggression"?

Subject: [HG] Hurdy gurdies in American Civil War?
Hi!
I play music at several American Civil War (or "War Between the States")
reenactments each year on hammered dulcimer and concertina.
I'd like to bring my hurdy gurdy, but have a bit of a problem establishing
authenticity. I can certainly play period tunes on the instrument, but
has anybody seen a mention of hurdy gurdy being played in an American
Civil War context? I'd appreciate any references or citations.
Thanks!
Best regards,
-Gary P.
