Today in Class we studied the battle of Gettysburg and one of your classmates asked about what the "Rebel Yell" was. I described how it was a battle cry that southern troops made as they were going into battle as a form of psychological warfare. Well, I have found a recording that I will post below that was made at the anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg in 1938, these veterans would have been in their 90's but I think that a very good idea of what the Yell would have sounded like can be gained from this clip.
