- My first ever video, so sorry it's not great! Just a short tribute to the 111th New York Infantry. The music is by the Camp Chase Fife and Drum band, and the track is "Jefferson and Liberty".
Wow, this was my old CZcams account, and I'd forgotten all about this video! Just remembered it yesterday and came for a look. Can't believe it's had this many views etc!
+James Hooper yea it has 4 videos but 30 subs while this account has 22 vids but 13 subs...
Now we're learnin', boyo!
HELL OR EVEN THE BLOODY PRINCE OF AFRICA!!!
Aw look at this, Bonnie Prince Charlie. Are you a gentleman?
Don't look at me look straight ahead, STRAIGHT AHEAD!
This is your front! this is your rear! this is your right! and this is y- now your learning boyo!
Come on stab not tickle, NOW HIT ME! You prissy little school girl you’re the worst soldier in this whole damn company.
My great great grandfather, William Rogers, was a member of the 111th. Fought at The Wilderness and Spotsylvania. He was captured and sent to Andersonville. Luckily, he survived his eight months as a POW and returned to Cayuga County to live out the rest of his long life.
My great-great, grandfather was in the 126th, (sister regiment to the 111th). He was a drummer boy. Captured at Harper's Ferry within a month after mustering. Sent to Camp Douglas for a year and eventually discharged at Union Mills about a year later. He lost his hearing due to a disease he acquired at the Camp.
I like it. Nice drums.
Americans are braves.
Honor for 111 eme NY.
This song is originally called Jefferson and Liberty. Love the song
The tune is known as tidy woman and was famously a jacobite song called Wha'll be king but charlie
@@Dearth_Vader Sounds like a medley of "the "Gobby-o/Jefferson and Liberty," "News frae Moidart/Whall be King but Charlie," and possibly "The Hielandmen Cam' Doon the Hill." But being somewhat similar to "Whall be King but Charlie," it's hard to say.
My great-grandfather, Levi White, served honorably in I Company, 111th NY. I am very proud of his accomplishments. He received a battlefield commission in 1964. I feel his blood coursing through my veins, and am thankful he was my ancestor. Huzzah!
My Great Great Great Grandfather Nathan Booth also served in I company as a Corporal and was wounded at Gettysburg. Luckily for me he lived.
My 3rd great grandfather Seymour K. Served in the 149th NY company E
THIS IS WHY IM PROUD TO LIVE IN NY, USA
Beautiful job with the video! Ignore the haters. The music is glorious, my favourite Fife & Drum tune, lovely, and it goes with the video very well. Thanks! (Richard Cook, descendant of Leonidas Hamilton Cook, Company I, 7th West Virginia Cavalry, Grand Army of the Republic.)
You say its not good, but good God, I've been looking for this song for three years. Thank you!
"Oh look at this! Bonnie prince Charlie, are you a gentleman? Are you a member of congress or something?
*OR THE BLOODY PRINCE FROM AFRICA?!?!?!?!*
WELL DONT LOOK AT ME LOOK STRAIGHT AHEAD!!!
God bless America and God bless my home state
Heh reminds me of my own very first video :)
Good music, jefferson and liberty is one of my favorite fife and drum pieces
Happy Birthday USA!!!
HOT DAMN!! USA!! USA!!! THE UNION FOREVER!!!
BuckEye49 Then the US fight itself

Private Mason,71st Pennsylvania/1st California 2nd Corps*2nd division*2nd brigade Union Army of the Potomac
You still reenacting? I'm in the 71st currently.
The union forever boys charge!
First heard this on an insurance commercial of all things finally found it.
Union for life great grandad survived every battle
He is a very lucky man.
Ah, another batch of Irish Boys, straight from the fields and cities of New York, ready to put themselves into the fire of battle and harden themselves into Irish Men of great power!
Badass tune
New York rules greetings from well, New York
For your first video is great guy !!!
your military music curiously makes me think of the French military music during the French Revolution and the French Empire (Napoleon) 70 years before (1790-1815) your civil war
For examples look my videos about "Napoleonic Total War 2" to listen any french musics of the Empire
Long live to the 2 oldests democratic republic !!
Long live USA !!
Long live France !!
long live the oldest allied !!
@rebel2276 My great great grandfather (great-whatever) used to sail supplies to the South from Plymouth :) and during the war ended up staying there and enlisting but not sure with whom, what regiment etc. I used to live in Harwich where the mayflower set sail in the same street as his father or grandfather who fought with Admiral Nelson and held him at Trafalgar. got to love history even if it is old lol
The irony being that the first tune is "Jefferson and Liberty", which was used more by the Confederacy due to its reference to Jefferson and the theme of throwing off the tyrant's yoke.
This is from the Liberty University commercial. Also, **FIFE INTENSIFIES**
The 16th Ohio Volunteers loved to march to this song as well.
The song is from Glory (1989)
To be honest.....this sounds like it's actually from glory⬇️

yea true:)
South was brave but fighting at 1 against 4 is...hard....
@rebel2276 Yes, they were captured. The 126th(?), which came in with the 111th, was captured by Stonewall Jackson's brigade at the high ground. The 111th escaped some shame because they were swept down on. It was a shame for the 126th, because their monument at Gettyburg was not at the angle, as the 111th's was, because of Harper's Ferry. Ironic because they had just been issued arms, and Zuoave troops that were veterans fled, and little shame came to them. "The Harper's Ferry Cowards"
@Phillyrulz9876 Did the north really prevail? I have ancestors that fought on both sides during the Civil War and it the aftermath still tears this country apart.
@rebel2276 Excellent, you must tell me when your books get completed i'd like to buy a copy(s) Make sure your safe for a year and four months then! Rather than the three months active service I had lol
Made the most supplies, gave the most men. New York FTW.
Died in the greatest numbers in some of the worst defeats... But I digress :P
@GeneralKenobiSIYE It's The Gobby O (known in the US by the name Jefferson and Liberty)
love the music would you be able to send me the two pieces that are used?
Rendition of whatll be King Charlie a song from the English Civil War
@kensen468 This is "Jefferson and Liberty"
@jayhoop82 Isn't the song called "Stonewall Jackson's Way"?
1:03 is that perhaps Amos Hummiston?
I love you Andrew
JEFFERSON AND LIBERTY !!
i have all the principals military march and music of teh French "Grande Armée"
I go to show these marchs and musics on videos quickly
you will be able to discover how much the musics of your civil war resemble that of the French Empire and the a
Burke White, it must give you a sense of self knowing that your relatives fought in those 9 New York infantry regiments, doesn't it? My grandfather's great-grandfather was a company commander in the 23rd New York National Guard, an infantry regiment called up in Brooklyn during the second reb invasion of the North. He had three brothers in the 8th, 25th and 71st New York, who fought at First Bull Run. After being called up, the 23rd first prepared to defend Pennsylvania's capital of Harrisburg, then fought the rebs at Carlisle, before advancing on to Gettysburg as reinforcements for the Army of the Potomac. With two divisions of other New York National Guard troops and the unengaged 6th Corps, they could have given the Army of Northern Virginia a final thrashing while it was trapped at Williamsport, on the North bank of the Potomac River. Unfortunately, Meade had a Mclellan-like case of the slows. The morning that the national troops got the order to advance, they discovered the rebs were no longer dug-in behind their new earthworks. They'd escaped to Virginia during the night. The war would last another 2 years.
I especially liked the photo at :39 in your video. It was taken at "The Angle" after Pickett's charge had failed, during the 135th anniversary reenactment of Gettysburg. I'm in there somewhere, but can't identify exactly where due to the turmoil and smoke. I was a yankee infantry re-enactor for thirty years. Not many guys died and it was great fun!
+judd49th The reasons why Meade didn't hit Lee at Williamsport are pretty obvious to anyone who cares to read the field reports. Flat open fields for almost a mile surrounded his position there where he dug in until the destroyed pontoons were replaced. His people were dug in and w/plentiful artillery (admittedly low on ammo) actually hoped for an attack.
Rain had made the fields into muddy bogs to slow down any attackers to boot. Meade's army minus the 6th Corp was tired and as shot up in victory as Lee's were in defeat. He was low on rations and ammo also so despite the detractors, he avoided heavy losses trying to win a fight against serious odds.
Read Kent Brown's study, "Retreat from Gettysburg" for more details.
knowing is half the battle
FACT: Jefferson was President of the United States.
I respect Lee in his patriotism for his state (though i do believe it misguided) But even your great hero was totally opposed to secession and only joined the war because virginia did.
All that mattered in the end was Appomatox.
Me and my sister go on board titanic 2 in 3 ciass
These men had a modern look to them. Like some dude you went to school with or played ball with...and Not that scary weird looking ghost face kind of pic alot of civil photos look like.
whall be king but Charlie?
@Phillyrulz9876 hooray!
@rebel2276 You shouldent thank us we should thank all of you. I remember doing a march past and having people spit on us here. ANY soldier even the enemy in some regards must be admired as they are fighting for their beliefs and country. Those who fight for the joy of killing are the ones that should not be remembered. stay safe mate
@rebel2276 Then applause for you for serving your country!
@santamuertetuesday ???
No, you thought yourselves invincible, and thats why Gettysburg happened.
i need soongs pls name's
jefferson and liberty
@southerncountryboy98 I guess we have to go to war again to teah you another lesson
@Bennewman11 The North kicked the Jews out of the army... actually, more Jews frought FOR the south than against it... (fail) Also, the south was geneticly Celtic while the north was heavily Ango-Saxon
@Phillyrulz9876 god? A mythical being? The south underestimated General Hancock and Sherman. Grant...was basically not much of a hero. He just numbers to his advantage...no smart general would waste his men so carelessly.
Im not sure what that even means, but Lee was obviously the best general of the time by far.
oops sorry you are not American
thus it's not "your" civil war lol
but no pb you will see like these music resemble much more to the march and music of the french Empire ;-)
yeah a lot of these marches are scottish, british, etc etc.
The war only lasted so long because McClellan was an inept fool when it came to offensives. If Grant were at the head of the Army of the Potomac from the start, Richmond would have fallen before 1862 and the Confederacy with it. Get over it, you lost. Your ancestors put up a hell of a fight, but they never really had a chance.
Yankees playing "Jefferson and Liberty?" That's like Satan singing the Psalms.
Fact: Karl Marx sent Lincoln congratulations upon Lincoln's reelection in 1864.
It Was NOT/NOT/NOT a "Civil War Song!" It was a song inspiring heroes, many immigrants, to fight/even give their lives, for freedom (in many cases, of others)!
