In reference to the clips from Ken Burns I have always been interested
that in an earlier episode discussing the fighting in the war Shelby Foote
speaks about the Rebel Yell. He tries to describe it and ends up saying that
no one alive knows what the Rebel Yell sounds like. Yet at the end of Ken
Burns we see that footage of the vets shaking hands over the wall. They
start giving the Rebel Yell. Finally one vet turns to the cameera and says
"That's the Rebel Yell".
Guess it shows even Shelby Foote can be wrong.
That's sad.
"Just the facts, ma'am."
