Stumbled across this on YouTube. Very powerful, imagine 100,000 warriors yelling like this in a charge led by Stonewall! Great men fighting for God, their families, and their future.

From the related videos on the side...1956 video of man who was in Ford's Theater the night Lincoln was assassinated and saw Booth jump from the balcony.

That's gotta be pretty scary hearing several thousand people charging at you and screaming like that. Kinda like the soldiers in Korea hearing the Chinese bugles.

I think I read one time the yell was copied from Native Americans, so basically you are hearing the end of a very old war tactic that was used on this land long before we arrived by ship.
