Thank you so much for posting that. I've always imagined the Rebel Yell was akin to the Marines Oooooraaaaaahhh! They are vastly different.

Fascinating to hear it.

Thanks for that link!

My Uncle Ben, from North Carolina via northern Alberta , shouted a version of that in my boyhood ear back in 1950. His grandpappy was a CSA vet, of course. Annual visits across the line to Wenatchee were always entertaining. ;^)

He hated President Truman, of course, although he was a dead ringer for him!

He gave me bourbon and sugar water in a highball glass - I was six at the time!

He was unreconstructed, as they used to say.

Sounds a little convoluted to me. The CSA veteran was a very old man when this was recorded. His worn-out voice couldn't make the accurate sound anymore. To over dub his voice to simulate a squad is pushing it.

That being said, this is interesting in the same way, but perhaps a little more accurate.
