Well Hi Leo-
I made the original post. Someone had put up a video of the vets at the
1938 Gettysburg reunion. These old guys shake hands over the stone wall at
CH. They start yipping and one turns to the camera and says "That's the
Rebel Yell" with a grin.
Ken Burns had the film in his last episode.
My point was that earlier in the series Shelby Foote is talking about the
Rebel Yell and says no one knows what it sounds like.
But I remember the first time I saw the series and saw the old vets
yipping I was amazed that Shelby Foote was wrong.
It is very hard tracing down the truth in history. And I was amazed at
Shelby being wrong.
That's it.
"Just the facts, ma'am."
Your Most Obediant Servant
Peter

Having not been following this thread, I just have one question: what are
discrencies?
