The 1913 Gettysburg reunion was a Gettysburg Battlefield encampment of American Civil War veterans for the Battle of Gettysburg's 50th anniversary. The June 29-July 4 gathering of 53,407 veterans (~8,750 Confederate)[1] was the largest ever Civil War veteran reunion, and "never before in the world's history [had] so great a number of men so advanced in years been assembled under field conditions" (Chief Surgeon).[2]:60 All honorably discharged veterans in the Grand Army of the Republic and the United Confederate Veterans were invited, and veterans from 46 of the 48 states attended.
Despite official concerns "that there might be unpleasant differences, at least, between the blue and gray"] (as after England's War of the Roses and the French Revolution),the peaceful reunion was repeatedly marked by events of Union-Confederate camaraderie.[8] President Woodrow Wilson's July 4 reunion address summarized the spirit: "We have found one another again as brothers and comrades in arms, enemies no longer, generous friends rather, our battles long past, the quarrel forgotten-except that we shall not forget the splendid valor."

Wow such amazing men 90+ years old and stay in outdoor tents for this get together. 20 year olds today would die.
Weak 20 year olds with no prior military, hunting, boy scout, related experience. We do have some weak men in society today. We also have brave patriotic hardworking ones. We also have men in uniform today who risk their lives still & have even given the ultimate sacrifice. These men are exemplary of courageous manhood & fighting in defense, even if a system that encouraged slavery & injustice.
If these old soldiers can come together with the show of love and respect for one another that they had, who are we to refuse that continued honor? I think that's the sentiment among all native southerners and why we believe in the cherished memory of their bravery...both sides, blue and gray, black and white. Don't erase history. Remember, so it never happens again.
well said
So why are monuments coming down in an attempt to erase history, as if it never took place?
@@millermark445, answering your own question.
Never better said... Don't erase HISTORY.
The Blumpkin/Toth back-and-forth was interesting, and I find factual truth in both positions. I also find what I've been taught about that war to make logical sense. It was started by the wealthy, politically powered class of Southern gentry that were interested in their own self-interests of independence, an interest which included the evils of slavery, among others having to do with maintaining their wealth and power.
Yes it's true that the vast majority of soldiers fighting for the Confederacy were not slave owners. They weren't people that could afford slaves. Many couldn't afford to own a dog. How did they end up in the military? Conscription. That draft, that they had no money to make themselves either being left out of, or officer's commission to be bought into. And if they didn't cowtow to it, their families were threatened by the military that existed under orders from that wealthy ruling class. They were realistic, not just rebellious. Once in, they would fight to protect their neighbors with the belief that they were also stopping their homeland from invasion.
This was just as prevalent in the North, which caused riots against the draft.
All this is of fascinating study and it's lessons never to be forgotten as a path to avoid in the future. There are, or were, those great monuments in Richmond that lauded Confederate leaders and military officials, but there is also a monument there that cherishes the memory of Arthur Ashe. That's what attitude I think we should take. Not the destruction of older remembrances but the addition of newer ones.
Thank you for preserving our inheritance! Today and everyday the traitors are destroying our history,. God bless you Sir!
I've wondered for a long time what the yell sounded like. Its great to hear these Confederate Veterans giving us an example. As a lifelong Southerner, I'm proud of those men and our heritage. These men fought for state's rights and make no mistake about it, the U.S. Constitution was and is a state's rights document. The Founding Fathers of the United States believed that each state was sovereign and each state had the right to determine its own destiny. That's the reason why we have state governments. Secession was legal and we the people still have that right!
@Daniel Crowe. Good reply. The only "issue" is the SJW movement is in ascendancy at this time in our history. They, of course, cancel anything they refuse to think about, and go as "herd animals". Thanks.
@@guidototh6091 In his first inaugural address, Abraham Lincoln promised chattel slavery more protection than the institution had ever had. He promised enforcement of the fugitive slave law. He even proposed a constitutional amendment that would have protected the institution of slavery; but South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas seceded even with Lincoln's promises of protection. Virginia, Arkansas, North Carolina and Tennessee seceded because they considered the invasion of the "deep south" unconstitutional and reprehensible. When Lincoln called for troops from the 4 above mentioned states and Missouri and Kentucky, all of those states refused. Virginia, Arkansas, North Carolina and Tennessee seceded and joined the Confederacy. Missouri and Kentucky remained in the Union, but there was representation in the Confederate Congress from Kentucky and Missouri, as well as the Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico territories. The main reason for Southern secession was the Morrill Tariff, a protectionist tariff that was a main plank in the Republican Party's platform for the Presidential election of 1860. It meant higher taxes for manufactured goods made in the North and sold in the South. The Republicans were for raising tariff rates and had the votes in Congress to do so. Tariff rates for Northern manufactured goods had been a sore spot for Southerners for years. Slavery became an issue due to Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, but it was not the cause of the Civil War or Southern secession.
@@guidototh6091 This is a portion of a letter published in August, 1862 by Abraham Lincoln in response to an editorial by Horace Greeley, editor of the New York Tribune: "My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that." One month later, Lincoln issued his preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, which is viewed by many historians as nothing more than a war measure. Moving on, the following was published in the New Orleans Daily Crescent five days before Louisiana seceded: "They (Southern states) know that it is their import trade that draws from the people's pockets 60 or 70 millions of dollars per annum, in the shape of duties, to be expended in the North, and in the protection and encouragement of Northern interests...These are the reasons why these people do not wish the South to secede from the Union. They (North) are enraged at the prospect of being despoiled of the rich feast upon which they have so long fed and fattened, and which they were just getting ready to enjoy with still greater gout and gusto." Also, the "invasion" as you said I call it (and yes, I did) was an invasion. The states in the deep South had left the Union. When armed forces are sent into a territory that has removed itself from a political confederation and has placed itself under another confederation, that is an invasion.
The right of a state to do what???
@@danielcrowe9324. ..👏👏👏✌👍💯💥
I never thought that I would be able to hear the famous "rebel yell"!
That was awesome, I am so glad you are documenting all this. History will be destroyed and forgotten in the future. To me that's a crime and a shame. Keep up the good work. Loving every bit of it.
Plenty of books and museums around. History won't be forgotten.
@@Rob774 Changed but not forgotten
I always wonder just how history is changed by tearing down monuments etc. If we do not learn from history, we are doomed to repeat the stupid acts.
History is already being forgotten, I personally didn't hear about the 14 presidents before Washington. That wasn't taught in school in the 60's and 70's, is it taught now?
@@lanet60 14 Presidents before Washington Will will looking that up. Thanks for the challenge
I like the old videos! And not to forget our history on the Civil War!
That Rebel Yell must have made the blood go cold when heard in the approaching numbers coming out of so many!
Can you imagine all the death and misery to end up like we are in this country in 2020 and 2021?
Thank you for sharing this!!!! Like everything in these crazy times we live in, history has been forgotten and even despised by some. It is a fool who judges history but a wise person will learn from it. Even when history was being taught in our schools- they left a lot of it out and gave an unfair and skewed version of it. History is always written by the victor therefore it is never entirely true. We as a nation would do well to remember that.
Wrong. History is written by those who write it! In the case of the Lost Cause, the UDC, Davis, Early, John B. Gordon and others wrote that history! And let's not forget Birth of a Nation, Song of the South, or Gone with the Wind! All wrote history FOR THE MASSES!
You are correct in the unfair skew. I was taught lost Cause propaganda...ie tariffs blah blah...
This was a public school in the North East, in the 1980s!
I always wanted to know what the rebel yell sounded like and it gets no better than from confederate soldiers themselves. Awesome thank you for these videos
The museum of the confederacy has a cd that has the rebel yell and amplified as to what it would sound like in the real battle strengths. Check it out
It's so awesome of you to keep this history alive and preserve it, Chris! As the product of Confederate veterans, this is very special to me!💖
Hello Birddogg i just found your site on youtube please keep up the great work its very nice to see someone taking the time to remind us of the civil war between north and south . In todays time with people trying to erase history by taking down statues all over disrespecting there memories . In my opinion this is wrong weather north or south they all deserve our respect right or wrong it took guts to do what they did you have to admire what they did by giving there full measure of devotion being Canadian myself my grand father told me that my great grandfather fought the civil war on the confederate side under stonewall Jackson he survived the war . truly war is bad a lot of good men and woman perished we should never disgrace there name and memories today we should honor all of them today and forever god bless all of them whether union or confederate
Really enjoyed watching. Alot of those old timers probably hadn't done that yell in 40 to 50 years. Bet it stirred up a few memories and emotions. Thanks for sharing, good luck, happy hunting and take care.
Today those people would have PTSD, these guys were in a cheerful mood and didn't act like they've been through anything at all. Men used to be men.
@@A_Black_Sheep94 I agree
@@A_Black_Sheep94 Soldiers Heart = War of the Rebellion. ww1 = shell shock. ww2 battle fatigue. PTSD is as old as war itself! People even! What you prescribe was done during The Great War, and it failed!
Awesome. These men were heroes. It is the right of each state to secede from the Union when that government no longer represent you. Right in the constitution. We need Robert E Lee today
Except Robert E. Lee lost the war for the South.
@@guidototh6091 not talking nor do I mean slavery. It’s about freedom. Free states from government rules in every aspect of your life. Today especially in the young, they look at government as be all to end all. What they can’t see is the oppression because they have never lived without the boot of government on their throat
So what we need to secede today from Brandon
@@SarahB1863Lee was by far the superior General of that war. That man hung in there for 4 years and fought the Union Army totally outnumbered and with far less firepower. Any other commander would have been defeated inside of a month flat.
Thank God his dad had that camera. What a treasure!
I've seen some, or all, of this before, but it's still amazing to see it again...thank you🇺🇸
God love the South
Love how people were so proper , they dressd to go out , in public. Not one sweatsuit or PJ's there!!
I commend whoever found this video footage.Those old Cornfederates had to be some rough ol'cobs!
I know my Great-great Grampa John C. West had to be, for he lived from February 25,1816 to October16,1921. He was only a hunnert and five year old when he passed. Joined The War for Southern lndependence at the age of 45.A hellified horse soldier in the 12th Texas Cavalry.

The little boy was 3 at the time this was filmed in 1938. He is still alive today as far as I know. Ron crimm is his name.
@Nathan Michaels first part of clip with the little boy is from the 75th anniversary in 1938.
Love this history. So important to document. Thank you for sharing.👍👍
Wonderful
Hi Bird Dog, wow! The Rebel Yell is awesome!! Thanks so very much for posting this great event!! Brothers in Arms; May these wonderful boys never be forgotten and their extreme valor!! God bless them all!! 🌺🎶🌺🎶
My dad actually got to see some old Civil War veterans as a youth. That must have been quite an experience.
Thank you for another gem! Wish I could have been there!
Very glad I found your channel
Thanks Indikuh!
Good video Chris - Thanks for sharing -
Im sure the real rebel yell by young men was 3xs louder .. That must of been terrifying in battle... DAMN
I saw a video of a historian who worked with a Confederate reenactor group to recreate the Rebel Yell. It indeed has a terrifying ring. I'm afraid all of us will have to summon it today in light of what's going on in the current federal government.
WE won't be afraid they will be.....
Someone commented that under the stress of combat the unified yell would have sounded different.
Yeeooooo!!!!! Yeeeooooooooo!!!!!!!!
I have to wonder...is that little boy shaking those veterans hands still alive and how old would he be? Maybe 100?? Like those veterans and everyone else who was there...he's probably gone on too, maybe in WW2 or Korea...who knows. I still remember when I was in 4th grade (I think) reading about the last rebel who was still alive, I think it was Life or Look magazine (don't remember the date of the magazine though) but maybe, just maybe, I could have met one......This was AWESOME Chris! Thanks for posting these!
Somewhere I saw a date on the same utube page of 1914 and I think 1864 the Civil War ended. 50 years latter? And maybe that boy saluting was 8 to 10 years old... 🤔
@@brianburnssailorslife5383 ended 1865.
@@brianburnssailorslife5383 that was the Gettysburg battle 50 year reunion in 1913.
@@MrJoebrooklyn1969 I'm more amazed that the movie was made 107 years ago and that makes the Civil War only 157 years ago.... I find that to be amazing how we have changed as a people from then to now....
I often wonder if we have spiraled downward going forward in time....
@@brianburnssailorslife5383 we have declined as a people for sure. We have become less moral, physically weaker, more likely to conform to authority and greedier.
Thank you so very much for all these historical accounts you present here! I remember the stories my grandmother told us that her father and grandfather told her... it makes me so terribly sad that these events are lost to the collective memory and replaced with lies and hatred... I am so grateful to you for what you're doing here ... telling our heroes' true stories and showing their pictures. Thank you.
Your welcome sweetie
Great video Chris, I saw a video about a year ago where the little boy talked about how his dad took him to Gettysburg to show him the veterans of the Civil War, not sure if he is still alive now or not, I wish I could remember the name of the video so you could use it in your videos
Home video 1938 civil war reunion
Really enjoying your videos, thanks a bunch for digging this stuff up for us! This is incredible footage from 1913 and its sad to think that elsewhere, the international bankers are meeting on Jekyll Island and destroying the America these people fought for...
Incredible! Thank you for sharing this historic footage.
They’re as old as I am as a Vietnam War vet!!
Seems to be alot of people today are so uptight about youre countries past....theose are the same people who never had to fight or for the most part suffer they have their head up their ass crying about how bad their treated and denouncing their own history they need to stand proud or shut the f ..up peace and honour from ireland
Wow best footage ever. To actually see Confederate Civil War veterans as living, moving figures instead of just pictures is simply breathtaking. It was almost like I knew those old timers. We’ve all been around older fellas like that at one time or another and to see those fellas that were actual civil war veterans, its just hard to put into words.What a video.
Huzzah for the brave sons of Dixie!
Thank you, excellent video
That's really great that they can all get together for a reunion .that pickets charge was extremely bad but Longstreet tried to tell Lee not to make that Charge.
Who is ready to rebel yell with me? I was born in NJ and lived half my live in ATL. Now in California, let’s just say, the spirit is rising.
I heard an anecdote once by a Confederate vet who said that he couldn't do a proper rebel yell with a full belly and a mouth full of false teeth. I think I heard it from Shelby Foote on one of his many interviews. These veterans are giving it their best.
Fantastic!
Another well done video . Amazing pictures .
Stars and bars baby!
My 7 year old grandson can sing Dixie, knows the Rebel Yell and says Deo Vindice
I love these glimpses into the past.
Captain James Dinkins, featured in the video portion, published his war memoirs entitled By an Old Johnnie. It is a very insightful read. He also fought alongside one of my 3x Great grandfathers. He was also involved in the raids around Holly Springs MS in an effort to disrupt Gen. Grant’s supply lines.
Wow!!! Thats incredible!!! I wish I could go back in time to see that!!! It reminds me a lot of seeing World War II vets. I've meet a few of them and it is always a great experience to see them!!! If any of you are interested, I have a video on my channel of a WWII vet that was celebrating his birthday on the 75th Anniversary of D-Day!!!
This is the first time that I have heard the real Rebel Yell!! And from the boys whom originally gave it! Awesome!! 🌺
Thank you very much Bird Dogg!
A SUPERB JEWEL OF TIME!!!
Thank SO MUCH!!!
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for your efforts.
These men do so good on the Rebel Yell especially at 90!! Charge um Boys!! Give em Hell!!
Give ‘em hell Boys! Such a treat to see this. Thank you for the video
Awesome video if this video doesn’t give you chills a little you doin it wrong. This channel is doing something no one else does. Please don’t stop!
Thank you for the wonderful video.
This footage is the 1938 reunion, not the 1913 one. You can see the cars at 2:08.
imagine 50 - 100 men doing that yell in the cover of the landscape and you're a union soldier hearing those howls through the fog or early light......it would sound like baboons or crazies waiting to attack.
The spine went cold upon hearing that Rebel Yell!
Imagine it by 1,000+ men, y'all. I've read that the sound was terrifying and I can imagine it was.
@@georgiapines7906 Truly , it would have been terrifying to those Yankees! Stonewall said that it was the sweetest sound to his ears!
Thanks Bird Dogg.
This stuff is great
How amazing would it be to physically And mentally ingadge A Civil War soldier today and ask him his thoughts about the military industrial complex
An awesome video here and great to hear audio with it too, and nice to see true living civil war vets then just pictures of them.
I never get tired of hearing those old forgotten boys do their yel. Years ago, i was a confederate reanactor and we were charginf thru this field at the quick step i remeber nobody yelling so i started yelling then the entire battalion start the rebel yell and to here 300 plus men hollerin sends chills down my spine thinkin bout it
Excellent video! Thumbs up!~John
Thank you for keeping our history alive and well
I learned - SO - much from this. See they were just like us, not the unsmiling stiffs in portraits.
Must have been intimidating,:like a Japanese Banzai charge.
Love this drried. My hteat grandfather fought for Alabama fyring the civil eww ar .injured in Tennesee but survived and received 5 acres snd a mule from the state of Alabama.
Amazing.This had to be early 1930s because there was no sound till 1928.
1938 would be my guess. I know Gettysburg had a 75 year celebration of the event.
I read a book about this one a few years ago. It's good to see the movies, to this point I had seen only the photos. I had one 2nd great grandfather in the fight at Gettysburg, 44th Alabama Infantry. I have 4 great grandfathers who fought in the Civil War, two on the Union, two on the Confederate side. Thankfully, all of them lived through it. Two of them were at Vicksburg, on either side, and the Confederate, from the 41st Georgia Infantry, was a POW for a couple days before they paroled them. Of the others, one was with the 6th Regiment TN Cavalry and the other was 30th Illinois Infantry.

THE ONLY TRUE CONFEDERATE FLAG 🏳️
I don't know how much truth there is to this, but I read a story once of a civil war reunion at Gettysburg when the attending Confederates decided they wanted to walk the field that so many of their brothers had fallen to their demise in. As they started the long walk across the field, the northern veterans saw what was taking place and shouted out that the Confederates didn't make it all the way back then, be damned if they'll make it all the way today! It seems like it was said that there was a couple of fist fights occurred over the incident. As I stated I don't know that this was factual or not, but it does show the spirit of the true veterans. God bless the veterans on both sides!
There were 1.7+ million casualties (dead & wounded) from that war! And that was from a nation of only 32 million people!
That would be the equivilant of 16 million casualties in today's America! That was one hell of a growing pain for this country, and it should be respected by all!
I LOVE THE SOUTH❤I LOVE THE CONFEDERATE FLAG❤LONG MAY SHE WAVE❤❤❤😊😊😊
I worked with a guy who was kin to Francis Brownell. When I asked him about him ( because he looked like him and had the same last name), he said " yes I'm related and that is crazy Francis" . He said that the family still has his papers and uniform in a chest. Every time I see your opening video and see the picture, I think.of my coworker and what his family actually kept.
I love your content
Thanks Mike!
Sounds like a bunch of proud bootleggers in a commercial trying to sell whiskey
That rebel yelling was heard loud and clear as USA troops poured it into their behinds on July 1,2, and 3rd, 1863 at Gettysburg.
I can't help thinking how different the world would be had we not lost men in war. We'll never know what they would have contributed.
To quote Shelby Foote:
“It was a cross between a fox-trot ‘yip’ and a ‘banshee squall’…”
most of this is the 75th aniv reunion
NEVER FORGET ABOUT HISTORY,
IF WE DO HISTORY WILL REPEAT IT SELF LIKE A BROKEN RECORD.
Why ever did they imitate coyotes? Is that what it's supposed to sound like? What is the originM
There are several theories one of which is imitating the leader of a coyote pack. Other theories include imitating Comanche chiefs or that it is associated with Scottish/ Irish war cries. Hard to say
I thought it went yeeee hawwww! Imitating the Native Americans maybe.
Some tough ole birds back then .... they all had dignity back then .
a freaking shame that these men were treated better in those times,and the years after the war then their memories are today..america has sunk low.
Excellent reports! Will someone cover the victimization, discrimination, and the brutal treatment of Southerners by the North that happened after the war???
Chills
Rebel yell - group at 4:25 followed by individual yells
What a lucky little boy!

Two of my grandfathers were in the war. (Both from NC) One got shot at Gettysburg
Any information on General Steven (or Stevens) from this video?
If I could get the pictures and videos I would save them. Ideas
You can download the video I believe
All American soldiers read this right now “we should all pray, pray all soldiers all people we thank our lord our savior for what we have today and then more the 10,000 lives were taken for what we have now now if you please our land was once fiery and scary full of battle fields now we stand here today safe :) May god be with you”
4:43 if I'm not mistaken the fella said "drive them boys drive them"
American history at its truest form..,awesome!
Many of the northern veterans and people up north came to realize that although their Federal Govt may have prevailed militarily with the overwhelming numbers and resources; yet, both sides lost. Some of the Southern veterans remained bitter and rightly so with all that they had lost despite the sacrifices that they made. Some northerners remains very arrogant about their supposed victory. Veterans on both sides gained respect for their adversaries.
