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.
Thats what I derived.
All my life I’ve heard about the “Rebel Yell”.
I was born in central Missouri of mixed stock.
Hollywood turned it into a “Yee hah” thing. Those old boys had it in their souls from those days when their young lives were on the line.
Well said — well thought.
