Have you ever wondered what the Rebel Yell sounded like?  History says it struck fear into Yankees as waves of screaming Rebels charged Federal lines. Historians say that the Rebel Yell is lost to history as no one alive has actually heard it.  Well, they are wrong!  We actually have a recording of a 90 year old Confederate soldier giving the Rebel Yell.  Click on the link below to hear this piece of history.  This program is courtesy of the History Publishing Company, Palasades, NY.
