10196   Our Victorious Nation March New York Military Band
A stirring march which echoes strains of our national airs, a feature that ever appeals to the typical American.   The air is bright and snappy.   Just the kind to keep the feet a-going while the Record is being played.   Composer, J. Lincoln; publishers, Vandersloot Music Publishing Co., Williamsport, Pa.
— From the June 1909 Edison Phonograph Monthly

Edison's National Phonograph Company "band" recordings evolved from its initial, generally snappy, recordings by the Peerless Orchestra (Early 1899 through mid-1903) into a military band style.   Recordings by the new Edison Military band were first released in October 1903.   The band's name was changed to the New York Military Band in October 1908.
