Col. John Pattee, a fiddler from Michigan, recorded two sides in  1924.  Google his name.  There was a great family website  that featured photos of his vaudeville tour of Civil War  fiddlers.  A couple of other fiddlers who may have been veterans  were Henry Gilliland of Oklahoma, who recorded in 1922 (with Eck  Robertson), and Capt. Moses Bonner of Texas in 1924 or 25.  Two  sides each.

An interesting question. Reply to me or the list and I will forward to 
the individual.

Sir,
 
You have several recordings by Polk Miller.   Miller, a great favorite 
of Mark Twain, and a now all but forgotten once major American 
musician,  may be best remembered for the pet products he produced for 
his dog "Sergeant."  "Sergeant's" is still a best selling brand after 
over a century.
 
Miller was a Confederate soldier, took his banjo along to war, and 
served in the same Batteries as my great grandfathers.   
 
You have a copy of his singing "The Bonnie Blue Flag"; which with 
"Dixie"  comprised  The South's two most popular National Songs.
 
Surely he  played this song hundreds of times in camp (See Ted Turner's 
cameo comment in *Gods and Generals.),*   along  the road to Gettysburg 
etc.  Surely my ancestors, whose saving his obituary etc. reflects a 
friendship,  heard him regularly. .  
 
It brings The War close to today.  
 
But I wonder is this the only surviving rendition of one of the 
two major Southern hymns, by a Confederate Soldier?
Is this the only surviving recording of a Civil War Song made by a 
participant on either side?
 
There are millions of relics of The War, but I never thought there would 
be an audible one.
 
Thanks.
