These men probably knew revolutionary war veterans when they were boys, imagine the stories they could tell . ..
That was my exact thought as I watched this.
@@kevinlewis8137 Yes they did know Revolutionary War Soldiers, especially if they were relatives.
Winfield Scott was still alive... Who was Hell bent over
Robert E. Lee... But the Virginia Family of the "War of Northern Aggression," tells a totally different perspective and thus, narrative of
Robert E. Lee and Virginias' people.
This footage is a national treasure. It should be shown in schools.
@@misterdog8346 Home schooling.
They will not let us
re enact any longer. About 7 years back, we were invited to Vincennes, Indiana to do a
re enactment, by the city's mayor. Just minutes before the first
re enactment was to occur: the mayor arrived in the Confederate camp and gave orders, that the American St. Andrew's Cross would NOT be displayed in the battle, or anywhere in the camp.But the Confederate side would be carrying
"Old Glory" as well..Or there would NOT be an
re enactment. The mayor was To HATEFUL, to understand the expense that these Americans, pay to do these events, After inviting us there. Within 1 hour of the ungrateful mayors order, NOT one of the Confederate Americans remained at the Vincennes Fair Grounds. Since the mayor wanted an All Northern Field: They obliged mayor. Spectators departed as well. How much money did the Vincennes Mayor make that day, for her town with her ignorance? A One sided battle.
Amazing to hear the voices of the men that fought in the American Civil War.
Seeing these men and actually hearing their voices is surreal. These men saw the invention of cars and airplanes, but only used horses as young men. Old soldiers never die. They just fade away so said Douglas Macarthur.
Glad he faded away
David Maslow just stfu bro
And muskets
@@VinhNguyen-fb9lk
& TANKS !!!
Old veterans teasing each other. We still do it to this day and it hasn't changed...
Are you Retired ?😒
Never underestimate the strength of an old man! I learned that the hard way once. That's a big heavy long gun those boys were presenting.
Stan 👋
This footage is a treasure . Thanks for posting !
Old Soilders and everybody had a Story.
REST IN PEACE brave Man
Sure
A man dies twice. Once when he passes to death, the second when his name is never mentioned again.
If you have friends, relatives, or know of soldiers who have passed. Mention to yourselves their name. Allow them to continue living in your memory.
remarkable statement how true thank you !
They weren't to sure of the motion picture camera and what they were to do at first but once they figured it out they started having fun with it lol. This is so amazing. Thanks for sharing. Wish I had a time machine. Take care.
The footage of these former soldiers iis wonderful and poignant to view. Watch the former veteran with his flowing mustache and uniform, so proudly perform the manual of arms with his vintage Springfield musket, still remembering the moves he learned so long ago.
African colonial Askari soldiers in the service of Imperial Germany during WW1 were searched for to be paid pensions during the late 1920s. To screen out imposters, applicants were required to perform the Prussian drills with staffs as 'rifles' which these old soldiers remembered their craft well. No matter the cause or the Army.
As much as I love the brave men of the North , I love the Brave men of the South more . God bless them all
My beloved 2 great grandfather fought the whole duration of the war.He fought in the Battle of Shiloh and in particular the Hornet’s Nest.Haha when he came home from the war he fathered 19 children.A stellar Southern solider.
He was a busy man.
@@joeeastwood3795 Yep him and his old lady making up for lost time I suppose !!!
Magnificent! As a reenactor of 22 years it is stunning to see how well these boys did the manual of arms......done right! Especially "Right Shoulder Shift" and "Support Arms."
Than\k you, men! Huzzah!
Such a tribute to those brave men! Thank you so much!
Fascinating to look into the eyes of these men and try to imagine the things they saw. And humbling.
This film footage and sound needs restoring as part of Americas heritage.
got my tears running. God bless all the soldiers
Robby Greene 👋
Amazing!! Thank you so much for making this available to all of us. So incredible to see the faces and hear the voices of those who lived it.
My deepest gratitude
Good gosh. Even after all they witnessed and done themselves in the civil war, they still shown themselves to be Gentlemen. God bless them.
I remember as a young boy my Grand Father from KS telling me, he as a boy, recalled listening to Civil War vets tell war stories. I wished I could hear those tales again as an adult.
Different times, different lives …hard times for sure …and the faces show it …tough men ..I’m sure hiding many tears and terrible moments never shared with anyone
As much as I am more of a color film kind of guy, I like that this video is in original black and white! It really makes one look past the blue and the grey, and see only a group of war vets.
I started to colorize some of these but it was sooo time consuming. After 2 days I had 15 seconds of footage... maybe one day
I had 48 ancestors in the War of Southern Rebellion. Only 3 made it home in 1865. Many letters, several documents, a few tin types, and 2 Union uniforms. They are to stay in our family as our treasure. God Bless all of them that fought, their now long gone but not forgotten.
Dont mess with a Yankee.
@David cool war of Northern progression is more like it.. we should have slaughtered all of the south. We live with regrets.
My Great great grandfather fought with the 3rd Michigan at Gettysburg, and I have his diary of that conflict.....
@@charlesthompson592 your hateful
I had relatives from both sides of the family who fought in the Civil War. To my knowledge, all of them survived the war.
I found out a few years back I'm related to Stonewall Jackson's chief chaplain.
Amazing to hear their voices. Thank you.
I oncesaw a video of a group of very old men who fought for the South giving the rebel yell.
John Day 👋
Sir , your collection on the Civil War is Magic to me!!! Thanks for sharing with us!
Absolutely amazing to see real live Civil War soldiers.
Yeah!
What priceless images!! Just a few generations ago...
God Bless the Union and Conferate Soldiers. They fought hard. Stand tall Veterans. Thank you for all you have done for our Country.
And USCT troops fought for their right to be Free
God bless the south, I wish I could go back and give Robert E Lee a few AR 15's an amo and spit in Grant's face.
The Blue And The Gray
Francis Miles Finch (1827-1907)
By the flow of the inland river,
Whence the fleets of iron have fled,
Where the blades of the grave-grass quiver,
Asleep are the ranks of the dead:
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment-day;
Under the one, the Blue,
Under the other, the Gray
These in the robings of glory,
Those in the gloom of defeat,
All with the battle-blood gory,
In the dusk of eternity meet:
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgement-day
Under the laurel, the Blue,
Under the willow, the Gray.
From the silence of sorrowful hours
The desolate mourners go,
Lovingly laden with flowers
Alike for the friend and the foe;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgement-day;
Under the roses, the Blue,
Under the lilies, the Gray.
So with an equal splendor,
The morning sun-rays fall,
With a touch impartially tender,
On the blossoms blooming for all:
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment-day;
Broidered with gold, the Blue,
Mellowed with gold, the Gray.
So, when the summer calleth,
On forest and field of grain,
With an equal murmur falleth
The cooling drip of the rain:
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment -day,
Wet with the rain, the Blue
Wet with the rain, the Gray.
Sadly, but not with upbraiding,
The generous deed was done,
In the storm of the years that are fading
No braver battle was won:
Under the sod adn the dew,
Waiting the judgment-day;
Under the blossoms, the Blue,
Under the garlands, the Gray
No more shall the war cry sever,
Or the winding rivers be red;
They banish our anger forever
When they laurel the graves of our dead!
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment-day,
Love and tears for the Blue,
Tears and love for the Gray.
@Stuart Beatty Hopefully I'm standing behind your loud mouth come judgement day pal.
@@herbertstokes2046 He said Union.
wonderful to see and hear these Civil War veterans , I remember back in the early 50's old Soldiers at the NH VETERAN HOME Laconia ,and I wish I had gone up to tier porch where they were rocking in the chairs. It would have been great to
have that opportunity,
It was funny to watch the guys trying to do the manual of arms, then another guy comes along...You're doing it wrong, let me show you how to do it the right way, he tries to do it then another guy comes along and the whole thing repeats itself! 😁
I liked the old boy who obvoiusly saved all of his kit from the war. He still wore it well and it didn't take a lot of imagination to see him as a young lad marching. Huzzah!
This is incredible footage. Thank you for putting it together.1919 was the year my Mother was born which makes it amazing to see too
God bless America always 🇺🇸
Precious memories oh how they linger, whether they be good or bad, oh how they linger.
How they talked back then compare how we talk today
These poor men to have lived through their carnage to only witness second hand but all to well the horrors of their successes in tactics and battle to be used as doctrine of battle for WW1. Where the Gatling was modernized to the Chauchat to the Maxim and the evolution of a Tank, flying fighter planes and artillery that could reach out and touch a city miles away. The Camaraderie of these great warriors with a playful attitude of them temporarily reliving their shouldering of arms. I am glad it immortalized in film for us to remember.
They are long gone now, but their dignity shows long after the war ended. It reminds me of ANZAC DAY here when I would take dad to the gathering of veterans and listen to their stories, mostly humorous, and the usual blarney. They too are mostly gone. It was never a celebration of war, but that of comradeship, or mateship, a time to remember those who never came home. With each passing era it seems a little more of the old values are discarded so that those men would barely recognise they Country they fought for. Rest in peace those who served.
Would have been wonderful to share a drink with those men 😊
Agreed, they looked like a hoot!
What a great video! Funny, many of us, I'm sure, have never seen it till now. Many thanks.
Look forward to this every week. As much as I once looked forward to "a day in the life" lol I miss that.. keep it coming mr Chris.
Amazing to see these soldiers of the past
Yep 😊
Great channel. Seeing these men really makes time seem so small. Dignified people.
Thanks
“Who knows but again the old flags, ragged and torn, snapping in the wind, may face each other and flutter, pursuing and pursued, while the cries of victory fill a summer day. And after the battle, then the slain and wounded will arise, and all will meet together under the two flags, all sound and well, and there will be talking and laughter and cheers. And all will say ‘Did it not seem real? Was is not as in the old days?’”

Very cool, thanks for sharing
Fabulous videos. Thanks for sharing
You welcome 🤗
I was born in Louisana and damn proud of it! 💖
THANKS 👍😊 I FOUND THIS CHANNEL A FEW WEEKS AGO AND I AM SO ENJOYING IT. THANKS
I am a female veteran
Hey BirdDogg. 👋🏻😃 What an amazing film that is!! Incredible to be able to hear their voices!! As you say, gone but not forgotten. Thanks for sharing, take care, GL&HH. Deano. 🇺🇸🇬🇧 😃👍🏻
Detects
Fantastic. I never saw this particular footage.
We must preserve our past and history. Protect Southern statues from being removed and destroyed they are history.
The lefts agenda is erase history so they can twist the past to make it mean something else...
@@billallen4793 that is right. Everything is always racist or anything that they don’t agree with they call you names racist bigots Nazis anything
@@gentrystinnetti8277 Gentry 👋
today we’re being overrun by marxist candy asses, sadly, and they’re brainwashing the youth
Huge respect for these gentlemen.
They fought a hard war under extreme conditions. So we today can have our freedoms, back when men were real men .
Old soldiers never die, they just fade away. God bless them all...
Pete hall
Thank you for this remarkable film of these men .
Thank you BirdDogg!
The tall one with the extended mustache seems to be looking out over the years of endless marching, perhaps a brief interlude of contact, and the sudden memory of forgotten comrade faces he can no longer put a name to. Better to die young, given the hard work necessary to survive in the economy, I'm surprised they survived so long. 80 years of cold showers, meal worms in the bread, and tainted meat, didn't seem to harm them.
To me, I feel like the health reforms from the Progressive Era are why so many Civil War vets and ex-slaves lived as long as they did and why so many made it to the Depression and WWII.
These are true Heroes, RIP!
Petr 👋
How wonderful that we have film of these men. It’s a small insight to a historic time long past.
Thanks for the video... best I've seen !
Jerry 👋
Did you see how happy everyone was.
Yeppers
AMAZING TO SEE THIS AMEN 🙏
How amazing to see these old gentlemen; Union and Confederate, once facing each other as foes, now as friends.
Priceless footage of the greatest generation! So glad technology was advanced enough in 1930 to record this!
I have a dozen envelopes but without the letters, from John C Coulter and he used the back of the envelopes to write some of what he experienced during the Civil War, he was from Dowagiac Michigan.
Hi Mike 👋
Priceless !
Amazing !
them some proud old vets

I love these.
Amazing.
Thank you 😊
Great video appreciate it very much

Great job
I like the way they're joking with one another. Old comrades.
Swanson 👋
I like it very much!
Heartwarming! Wonderful to connect with humanity
Maslow 👋
Really enjoyed this video. I’m proud that my family has served our country all the way back to the Revolutionary war. No matter what the national situation is, our military rises to the occasion and fights for our personal rights and liberties. I just wish everyone in our country would realize how lucky they are that 2% of of the people in our country make sure we all get to make our own decisions In our lives and have civil liberties that billions of people will never have the chance to experience in their lifetime.
These were boys when they went in,
Many lied to fight because their friends went and there was shame in staying and not volunteering. This an amazing video . I'm awe🥺
May God bless all these veterans, and all who fought. Seems to me that the Civil War didn't conclusively end things though. Wish your nation wasn't so divided right now. Love.
The nation has never been united when it comes to Indians and African Americans or Asians (Lynchings, segregation, reservations, and racism ) permeates our country and has been and still is a cloud over our country.
God would never bless these people. Wtf?
@@herbertstokes2046 And, all because of the Democratic Party. Not that I am sayin' the Republican Party is perfect or any better! It was founded to counter the ''party of slavery'' (the Dem Party), and did just that. However, where it started fudging was with Nixon!
@@charlesthompson592 At the time, there was just not love for country, but also love for the State one was born in. The late Gen. Robert E. Lee is a great example of that!
As much as he would have taken the job of leading the Union, he just could not abandon his home State of Virginia.
@@stevenyarnell I get your point! What has nationalism ever done for this country after the revolution? And what does the Bible say about it? You will be disappointed..
The video is amazing, but the intro music is 🔥🔥🔥!!!!!!
Another awesome video! BTW. How is the introduction music by? I love it.
Strange to think that not only are all those GAR gents gone, but also all the younger people too.
Amazing looking into the past like this 🇺🇸👍
Love when the man says, okay, let's get to it and no funny stuff. 😆🤠
Where are you from ?
These boys would look at America today and say why did we bother fighting.
I wish I could have been there to honor these brave old soldiers !
Michael 👋
Incredible
Thankyou
INCREDIBLE
So damn cool!
What an amazing film with American heros!
These men are legends ❤️
These had to be the toughest SOB's I have ever seen, boys from this tome period, both sides. I envy them but, fear what they lived through, those who survived.
Love seeing this video. To see those guys standing together, not any longer warring with each other was good.
I had 4 second great grandfathers in the Civil War. Two were Union, two Confederate. From the Union 30th Illinois Infantry Co G was George Warfield Morrison of Spring Grove Illinois. From the Confederate, 41st Georgia Co. A was Christopher C Smith of Newnan, Coweta Georgia. Then I have the two Tennessee boys, one from either side who ended up as father in-laws of my great grandparents later in Texas. From the Union 6th Cav Tennessee was James Madison Clayton of Bethel Tennessee and from the Confederate side, 26th Tennessee was Andrew Jackson Brown of Erwin County Tennessee. Strangely, George W Morrison was at Vicksburg for the Union when Christopher C Smith was captured at Vicksburg.
All 4 made it home alive, two wounded though, and raised families that, eventually ended up with me. Morrison was on my mom's side, the other three were my dad's family.
Good to see they haven't lost their sense of humour
Bill Mago 👋
Thanks
Where are you from ?🤔
Turn the camera on and these guys needed to be told... _"Say something."_
I'll bet any other time you couldn't shut them up!
Their ptsd had to been off the charts.
