The Rebel Yell — From the Men Who Gave It 🎩

Rare footage of Confederate veterans joking in the crowd. Someone tells Mr. Powell, “Go holler — go ahead.”

He does. Then they shout “one more!” and the old soldiers can’t stop laughing.

Living history with the bark still on it.

1925 Atlanta Memorial Day 🇺🇸

Rare film of Confederate veterans sixty years after the war — talking on the street, children laying wreaths on the Confederate Dead memorial, a 21-gun salute, and Taps.

Living history you can still see.

Do you recognize this man?🇺🇸

Most people don’t. This is Senator Edward D. Baker — Lincoln’s old Springfield friend, English-born lawyer, Mexican War veteran, and Oregon senator.

When the Civil War broke out he left the Senate floor in uniform, raised a regiment, and within months was fighting at Ball’s Bluff. Hit six times, including a fatal wound to the head.
He remains the only sitting United States Senator ever killed in combat.

Civil War Veterans Telling Old War Stories 🇺🇸🎩

Rare 1930 footage of actual Civil War veterans swapping stories more than 65 years after the war.
One old soldier on picket duty: a fellow wouldn’t stop when told — he shot him. Next night two more came crawling up — he shot them both. Then they put him back on the same post… and they shot him.

His comrades can’t stop laughing. Living history you won’t find in a textbook.

Civil War Veterans of the Blue & the Gray — Gettysburg, 1938 🇺🇸🎩

Gettysburg’s guns had long fallen silent. The dead slept on. And in the summer of 1938, America’s most famous battleground became a camp once more.

Seventy-five years after the battle, some 2,500 aging veterans of the Union and the Confederacy gathered on those same fields. A single road still ran between the Blue and the Gray — but there was no other dividing line. They shook hands across the stone wall, marched together, and sang as brothers.
This rare footage captures the last great reunion of the men who fought there. Many would never see another July. What you are watching is history itself, still walking.
From the collection of Massie’s Antiques.

If these old soldiers could speak to us today, what do you think they would say?

Hal Moore at LZ X-Ray – November 18, 1965

Just days after the brutal fighting at Landing Zone X-Ray, Lt. Col. Hal Moore of the 1st Air Cavalry stands in the field and gives a clear-eyed assessment of the enemy his men had just faced:
“We took on a well-uniformed enemy. He was obviously well-disciplined. They had on proper uniforms, webbing, steel helmets in many cases… with camouflage netting… They were armed with a variety of weapons from the Balkan countries, Russian and Chinese as well… And they were good shots. They used fire and maneuver… They were a tough enemy, but we took ’em on and when they wanted to attack, we cut ’em down.”
Raw, professional respect for a hard-fighting opponent, delivered by one of the finest combat leaders America has ever produced.

A powerful piece of Vietnam War history captured on the ground at Ia Drang.
