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 Soilders and everybody had a Story.
REST IN PEACE brave Man
Sure
This footage is a treasure . Thanks for posting !
As much as I love the brave men of the North , I love the Brave men of the South more . God bless them all
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 👋
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.
got my tears running. God bless all the soldiers
Robby Greene 👋
Such a tribute to those brave men! Thank you so much!
Amazing to hear their voices. Thank you.
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 !!!
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
Fascinating to look into the eyes of these men and try to imagine the things they saw. And humbling.
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.
This film footage and sound needs restoring as part of Americas heritage.
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!
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 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!! 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
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.
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.
What priceless images!! Just a few generations ago...
Absolutely amazing to see real live Civil War soldiers.
Yeah!
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 oncesaw a video of a group of very old men who fought for the South giving the rebel yell.
John Day 👋
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,
Sir , your collection on the Civil War is Magic to me!!! Thanks for sharing with us!
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
Precious memories oh how they linger, whether they be good or bad, oh how they linger.
Amazing to see these soldiers of the past
Yep 😊
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!
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.
God bless America always 🇺🇸
How they talked back then compare how we talk today
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! 😁
These are true Heroes, RIP!
Petr 👋
Great channel. Seeing these men really makes time seem so small. Dignified people.
Thanks
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.
What a great video! Funny, many of us, I'm sure, have never seen it till now. Many thanks.
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 .
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 👋
Thank you for this remarkable film of these men .
Old soldiers never die, they just fade away. God bless them all...

I was born in Louisana and damn proud of it! 💖
Did you see how happy everyone was.
Yeppers
“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?’”
Sgt Barry Benson

How wonderful that we have film of these men. It’s a small insight to a historic time long past.
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
AMAZING TO SEE THIS AMEN 🙏
Fabulous videos. Thanks for sharing
You welcome 🤗
THANKS 👍😊 I FOUND THIS CHANNEL A FEW WEEKS AGO AND I AM SO ENJOYING IT. THANKS
I am a female veteran
them some proud old vets
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.
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.
I like the way they're joking with one another. Old comrades.
Swanson 👋
Priceless !
Would have been wonderful to share a drink with those men 😊
Agreed, they looked like a hoot!
Fantastic. I never saw this particular footage.
How amazing to see these old gentlemen; Union and Confederate, once facing each other as foes, now as friends.
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. 🇺🇸🇬🇧 😃👍🏻

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..

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.
Very cool, thanks for sharing
Priceless footage of the greatest generation! So glad technology was advanced enough in 1930 to record this!
I wish I could have been there to honor these brave old soldiers !
Michael 👋
Thank you BirdDogg!
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.
These boys would look at America today and say why did we bother fighting.
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🥺
Heartwarming! Wonderful to connect with humanity
Maslow 👋
Amazing.
Thanks for the video... best I've seen !
Jerry 👋
Love when the man says, okay, let's get to it and no funny stuff. 😆🤠
Where are you from ?
Amazing looking into the past like this 🇺🇸👍
These men are legends ❤️
Strange to think that not only are all those GAR gents gone, but also all the younger people too.
Amazing !
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.
Never forgotten.
I remember seeing a Civil War veteran being interviewed and his accent like the veteran in this video definitely had an English twang to it. It seems the American accent hadn't quite developed as it is today.
Scots and Irish did a lot to settle this country
@@BirdDogg Most Southern soldiers were of Scottish blood
The educated had an accent but the “ dirt farmers, no. They loved their country, too & sacrificed more than the “ Aristocracy” of the South. My husband’s Ancestors had a poor farm & after the war, because of taxes, left & settled in Minnesota.
I like it very much!
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.
I love these.
Their ptsd had to been off the charts.
What an amazing film with American heros!
I am currently sick with a fever watching videos of these brave men distracts me from the sickness
Feel better friend.
Very moving. Thank you.
Watt 👋
Good to see they haven't lost their sense of humour
Bill Mago 👋
Thank you 😊
We have buried all this history in Richmond Virginia due to wokeness. Now they will only live in the memories of those of us who care and then only until we are no more.
Political Correctness erasing history and art, one statue at a time. The Romans called it 'Damnatio Memoriae".
We shall never forget
Such a shame. Even though I'm a Yankee I appreciate and am fascinated by old Southern ways minus slavery. It's a shame they want to erase our history. You can't change it so why try to bury it?
Well Randy....I'm afraid we're heading down that road again. The reasons are many, your comment one of them.
Evil is on the march.
Not a single statue of USA soldiers have been taken down or protested here in New England....🤔🤔
I live near Richmond va , and they have just removed Robert E Lee statue , and I am saddened, this is the most amazing video I have seen , at 8:00 , those are true bad asses , people have no idea nowadays the hardships these men went thru and their way of life , my hat is off to u gentlemen, thank all for your service , it sickens me to see the purple hair punks and libs erase my history in my beloved state of Virginia , as I weep I will never forgive these people
It's a shame that's happening and it will bite them in the ass when all is forgotten and awful things will happen again, you are supposed to learn from history not erase it!!
Hardships? Think of the hardships the South went through and the soldiers of the confederacy, 98% of whom did not fight for slavery, but against the heavy hand of federal government who burned their fields, looted their homes, assaulted their women and killed their men.
It was not the North who had no shoes going into battle, and who marched across States with no water to fight in the greatest battle of the Civil War, and almost win even with massive disadvantages.
Yes all men suffer in war, but if we're looking for who actually suffered, it would be the ones who did not get three square meals a day, warm and comfortable places to sleep at night, cities flourishing with every good and every healing service available where homes were not burned, but where slavery was still waged in all states but two..
It was the South that suffered, and still suffers today with leftist liberal intolerance that has removed the history of the Great Men of the Confederacy along with their beautiful and magnificent monuments, now supplanted by a man beating children with a tennis racket.
By the way, how did those freed slaves do after the war? They went right back to the plantations that were promised to them with 40 acres and a mule, where they spent their last days in indentured servitude as sharecroppers after Lincoln gave those plantations back to their original owners
I'm also wondering if you know who the pallbearers were at General Robert E Lee's funeral
The video is amazing, but the intro music is 🔥🔥🔥!!!!!!
My great-grandfather was in the silver war his name was General Massey. I never knew him he was a lot older than my great-grandmother but he was my grandmother's father and he died before she was born so she never seen him neither
The American Civil War it's not like any other War we fort. People keep comparing the Civil War 2 World War 1 and World War II. It is nothing like that at all. Other countries may have Civil War, with ours was unique to itself. One side forth for states rights. The other side to keep the country together as one. It matured into something even bigger. They were people on both sides of the Civil War that were against slavery and they were people on both sides saying Federal rights come first and the other side would say states rights come first. It's a bigger question than that. We must remember all of it. Or we are doomed to repeat it again. We may walk down this path once more. Only history will know.
Especially when it becomes politically correct to white-wash history. Or pervert the interpretation of history. I am writing this just two hours until the day turns into September 11, 2021. NEVER FORGET!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@vigilantobserver8389 I'm also watching this on September 11th These veterans were commemorating the the end of the Civil War on May 30th, every year. We don't do that anymore. The attack on Pearl Harbour is a dim memory. So too 9-11 will fade away.
I have just marked my 2022 calendar for the remembrance of the Civil War. Gone are the statues of all the brave men who fought, North and South. They all came together as brothers to solemnly remember .
Great video appreciate it very much
Bush 👋
And any other or more of some modern fellows, who truly do not do anything, besides taking contingencies of their empty headed selves to go slobbering and drooling and disturbing anything, they can get away with bothering.
This has to be much later than 1919 since talking films didn't emerge until the late 1920's
That’s what l thought if they were about 20 years in 1865 then they’d be roughly in there 60s but they looked older it’s hard to put it in perspective
I believe this is footage taken from the 75 anniversary reunion of Gettsysburg ,which would be 1938.
@@runninonmt8259 That makes more sense that would put them in their 80s and 90s
Thankyou
