Sheet music for "Blue Ridge Quick Step" for the piano, with an illustrated lithograph print cover depicting American troops marching up a path. Lyrics to "When the Moon on the Lake is Beaming" are handwritten on the back page. While the cover image possibly references a scene in the United States, such views also presented themselves to Scott's troops on the march on the Mexican National Road between Puebla and Mexico City. A similar scene of Mexican troops marching on the National Road titled "Rio Frio" was part a later lithograph album by John Phillips and Alfred Rider titled Mexico Illustrated in Twenty-six Views, published in London in 1848. [See Ben Huseman, "Rio Frio : No. 131," in Eyewitness to War?: Prints and Daguerreotypes of the Mexican War, 1846-1848, Sandweiss, Stewart, and Huseman (Fort Worth, Texas: Amon Carter Museum, 1989), 302-303.]
