Mack, was a German-American composer known mainly for his military march music. Mack composed the music for I'll Give to You a Paper of Pins (1869), with the lyrics credited to "A Lady". He also composed the waltz That Young Man Across the Way (1874). Mack also composed music that celebrated the early popularity of bicycles, including The Velocipede Gallop and The Cyclopede Waltz. Of the 412 marches related to the Civil War in the Library of Congress Civil War Sheet Music Collection, 26 are by E. Mack. According to the Keffer Collection of Sheet Music at the University of Pennsylvania, he was born in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1826) and his parents emigrated to the United States when he was 5. At some point, he became blind. In 1844 he entered the Philadelphia Institute for the Blind. Except for a brief stay in New London, Connecticut, he remained in Philadelphia until his death in 1882. As a composer, he mainly wrote dance music and marches for the piano. The Library of Congress copyright deposits include 711 pieces by Mack. Mack’s music must have been pleasing enough for the publishers to keep issuing more of it. This music may have been first issues in 1862 as Lieutenant General Grant's Grand March.
