Bump for later
Thank you for posting this.
I never thought I would hear the Rebel yell.
These men are about 85-90 years old. It is amazing they could make that much noise.
I have read many Union accounts of hearing the “Rebel yell”.
It scared the bejeebers out of them.
You have to imagine 10,000 of these men, decades younger yelling as they ran toward the Union lines.
It unnerved the boys in blue, and made the hearts in gray stouter.
For a moment those old men were 17 years old again.

I’d have been out in Nevada dodging the draft and panning gold across the Sierra.
Gonna start practicing tonight. May come in handy.....
We may be able to practice it this weekend. Two Boy Scout troops are meeting in Gettysburg tomorrow. One from Michigan and the other from Maryland. North and South. Maybe we can recreate Picket’s Charge.
Incredible. Makes it seem so real.
They should have announced their ages as well as their names, but was probably considered disrespectful in 1930.

I wonder if somewhere in Iraq there are a bunch of former Iraqi solders talking about how they really kicked the American army’s ass?
Sometimes that’s what it sounds like around here.
I don’t mean to start a fight about why it started, and all that. My family has fought in all but the most recent wars. We’ve never been on the losing side. Is that what you do when you lose a war?
It sounds like the coyotes running through our valley.
The ‘rebel yell’ was nothing. Now, the yell of a band of ex-wives...THAT will make a grown man wet himself with fear!
Good find! Thanks!
Bashar Assad, President of Syria, has killed several thousand Syrians to preserve his government. The Syrian “rebels” want to overthrow it.
Abraham Lincoln starved to death and murdered 360,000 Americans rather than let them form their own government in their own states. His words were “ I cannot let them go”. What he meant was that the Union could not sustain itself without Southern tax revenue. The slave issue was written in by the victors to cover the actual issues.
If Bashar Assad is a muderer for killing his own to subjugate them what does that say of Lincoln?

Someone let out an Indian war cry during the Joint Session of Congress following 9/11. I’ll bet it’s been scrubbed from every recording you might hear, but I was listening live and I know I heard it.
Watch an episode of “Call of the Wild Man” and I guarantee you’ll hear a classic rebel yell. (Big Turtle Man fan here!)Watch an episode of
Sounds like me today wailing on our resident South bashers who without me looking are sure to be trolling this thread looking for getback from whitey
Dunno - maybe sounded like Slim Whitman singing “Indian Love Call” like in Mars Attacks??
I reckon it sounded something a bit like this:
