Interesting link.

I remember seeing an interview with a veteran of the Civil War filmed, I think, in the 1930s. He gave a 'rebel yell' although he said that to be accurate you had to be hungry!

Rather cool to be able to see actual photos of men who actually fought to establish out country. Ancient history to most, but really not all that long ago. -- Al
