“...he can still hear the Rebel Yells faintly echoing, and then they stop.”

Too many factual errors ruin the entire piece.

BTW, if anyone goes and faintly hears the Rebel Yell, tell the world what it sounds like because nobody actually knows.

I disagree. Burns documentary had a clip of some rebel soldiers that gave
a rebel yell so we would know what it sounded like

“BTW, if anyone goes and faintly hears the Rebel Yell, tell the world what it sounds like because nobody actually knows.”

Actually, in the Ken Burns documentary, they show a newsreel clip taken in the 1930s of a reunion of surviving confederate and union soldiers on the gettysburg battlefield. The old gentlemen shake hands over a low stone wall. Union vets on one side of the wall, the confederates on the other. One of the confederate soldiers lifts his hat and swings it over his head while yelling “woo woo! woo woo!”. One of his fellow confederates turns his head to face the camera and says, “thats the rebel yell!”

My recollection is that a youtube video of the veterans of Gettysburg has sound, and one points out an odd noise made by the southern veterans as the Rebel Yell.
