Biography
Vermont native Armand Edward Blackmar moved to the South in the 1850s to teach music at Centenary College of Louisiana in Shreveport. By 1860, he was in business with his brother Henry, selling “musical merchandise of every description” in New Orleans. Blackmar was one of the largest publishers of sheet music in the South, especially during the early years of the Civil War. He published a wide variety of music under his own name and various pseudonyms, including the first edition of “The Bonnie Blue Flag” in 1861.
