    Hi Tom. Very interesting, Actually quite fascinating as I am a member of the SCV (also a member of the SAR). I enjoy history, especially American History almost as much as I enjoy my archaeological interests. Thanks much for bringing this to our attention.

        When you have two or three regiments doing that in the heat of battle, and they are coming at you. .. It is blood chilling. Yankee soldiers often wrote of how terrifying it sounded to them. Great stuff.

                    When I saw the title to the post, 1st thing that came to my mind was Billy Idol.

                      Confederate yell surely influenced by indian war whoops.

                      Makes me sad that there is so much romanticism of Civil War. It seems Americans want to remember this darkest chapter as something glorious. I've never understood that.
