“The Stranger” by The Squid Jiggers
I think you will agree that the story of a fallen Confederate soldier mistakenly sent to Gray, Maine, where he continues to be remembered by the community is perfect material for a sesquicentennial-inspired song.

A poignant tale and a beautiful song. I never heard of Squid Jiggers before this, but they deserve wider recognition.
I cannot help but notice the vast difference in treatment and attitude of this fallen and misplaced Confederate soldier and the one given in the ideal of raising a monument to Union dead at Olustee, Florida.
Sincerely,
Neil Hamilton
