Stirring Description of the "TRUE" Rebel Yell

[YankeeTiger]

This subject has been raked over many times, however below is a link that I encourage you all to read in its entirety. All of the Confederate veteran Magazines from 1893-1933 are available at this link and I just started with the very first issue. They are all fascinating and each issue has hundreds of pages of articles..so this will take someone a LONG time to go through all of the "goodness" contained therein. There is a TON of information to be gathered from these and again, I have just started with issue #1 and found this article on the 'Rebel Yell" describing where it truly came from...
Forgive me if this link has been posted before..but it's just too much history to pass up passing it along again.

THere are some gems in those magazine links Warren..it would take dedicated duty to go through them all...which I intend on doing over time..then it's on to the all of the issues of the National Tribune for Union Veterans that are ALSO available online.
If you have time check out the advertisements section of the Confed. Vet. Magazines...

Yes. I was blessed with a wonderful research library back home in Birmingham back in the day. I recall many friends who would spend many a Sunday pouring over the back issues for gems, etc. However, like any resource, a lot of it has to be taken in context, etc. Still, it's great.

Hello,
There is an interesting Youtube video on the Rebel Yell. It was well researched and performed.

Very fine gems indeed.

Hello,
I found one the videos on youtube with confederate veterans giving out the ol' rebel yell. They did it all in unison then each one came up and gave their rendition of it to the best of their abilities. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6jSq...eature=related

There was a piece on PRX radio today. A historian named Peter Solomon has done some more research. He used two known, separate recordings - then magnified and multiplied them to get what a large group of men might sound like. It was so chilling, and impressive, I had to post (left the hobby some years ago - glad to see my account is still active). (If you go to the prx radio site you can hear it, you will need to create an account to hear it on the site, but for me it was worth it.
