Re: Rebel Yell Recordings
I have a book that a friend gave to me--she found it at a yard sale (she lives at those places in the summertime). It's called 'The Blue & The Grey', and no, it's not the book they made that ridiculous Patrick Swayze miniseries from back in the 80s. It's made up of first-person accounts. Official reports, newspaper dispatches, letters, memoirs, etc. Somewhere in there (I gotta dig for it--we got beaucoup windows out and a lot of rain damage) there is an account that, unless I remember it incorrectly, mentions noticeable regional differences in the yell. I recall the text on that 9th Virginia site being in there, but there were more also. Fairly detailed descriptions. I seem to remember three different versions being written out phonetically. I'll see if I can find it.
