I saw a film made at this event. The old confederates even managed to recreate the rebel yell!
Yes, I’ve seen that too.
Amazing. Such a bloody war it was.
And the bitterness lingered 150 years in some places.
The newsreel that you recall was made at a later reunion, around 1930, I believe. I saw it on the old PBS program “Lowell Thomas Remembers” back in the 1970s. And yes, you can hear a man howl, followed by him saying “that’s the rebel yell”.
