I shed a tear or two... others may find this interesting. Try to put yourself as a teenager in CWI.

You mean the 2nd war for Independence that failed?

#3 will be the tie breaker.

I made a sound similar to that when John Roberts made up his own law on Obamacare.

I guess I was pretty accurate in my replication of it all these years. :D

THE REBEL YELL

None of us have ever heard it.
None of us ever will.
There’s no one left who can give it.
Tho you may hear its echo still.

You may hear it up near Manassas,
and down around Gaines Mill.
In December it echoes in Fredricksburg,
in May around Chancellorsville.

It’s the “pibroch of Southern fealty”.
It’s a Comanche brave’s battle cry.
It’s an English huntsman’s call to the hounds.
It’s a pig farmer’s call to the sty.

It’s a high-pitched trilling falsetto.
It’s the yip of a dog in flight.
It’s the scream of a wounded panther.
It’s the shriek of the wind in the night.

It was yelled when the boys flushed a rabbit.
It was passed man to man in the ranks.
It was cheered when they saw their leaders.
It was screamed when they whipped the Yanks.

But none of us will ever hear it.
Tho some folks mimic it well.
No soul alive can truly describe
the sound of the Rebel Yell.

-Monte Akers

I had 4 ancestors in the CW, all union, three were brothers. One started the war a private and ended a captain. He fought at every major battle of the eastern theatre and was wounded at Spotsylvania Courthouse.

I guess this is what they heard.

Despite my comment, thanks for posting that. Those were some brave young men who became tough old men.

Here’s hoping we see their like in droves in this country again, and soon. My ancestry is a history of rebellion, and I intend to continue it. I plan on flying a rebel flag high in my yard till the day they come take me away by force.

That was very interesting and brings home the fact that 150 ago years is not ancient history. I think some of the men were able to closely approximate the rebel yell while others didn’t have much left. North or South, American vets all.

Interesting, but I suspect that the rebel yell was executed by soldier not generals and captains in that video.
