In 1876, the first depiction of a cigar box instrument was published in Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper. An etching by artist Edwin Forbes showed two Civil War soldiers at a campsite with one playing a cigar box fiddle. Legends Jimi Hendrix and Carl Perkins started out on DIY cigar box guitars.
