A brief audio file of the voice of composer Ignaz Brüll (1846-1907). I haven't heard much of his music, but what I have heard is FANTASTIC. His Piano Concerto #1 and Piano Concerto #2 are both brilliant, and I'd advise anyone to check them out! He was a student of another composer I consider amazing: Johann Rufinatscha, who composed some of the most astounding forgotten symphonies out there.

This is colour video of Albert Woolson, the last Union veteran of the US Civil War; he is also the last absolutely confirmed veteran of that conflict from either side. This footage, as far as I know, is the very last footage taken of a US Civil War veteran at all. I believe at least one still photograph of Woolson was taken after this video, however.

Was survived a few months by one other veteran claimant who has also been proven as a faker. Last confirmed veteran was Albert Woolson (died 1956). Last confirmed Confederate was Pleasant Crump (died 1951), but William J. Bush (died 1952) was probably legitimate as well. In any c...

The Battle of Gettysburg was fought during the USA's Civil War, from 1-3 July, 1863. The veterans shown here were from the war in general, not specifically present at the Battle of Gettysburg; that battle, seen as the most important single one during the war, was simply used as...

75th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, 1938. Footage of Confederate and Union veterans shaking hands over a stone wall. I don't know if this wall contained stones used in a stone wall during the actual battle in 1863, but probably so. It starts with the old veterans shaking hands and calling "Hello Yankee" and "Hello Johnny" and things like that, then one Confederate near the camera take...
