In the 1930's the Smithsonian recorded Civil War Veterans performing the Rebel Yell used in battle.

Hearing thousands of attackers emitting the Rebel Yell in battle was described as a "peculiar corkscrew sensation that went up your spine when you heard it."  


Historian Shelby Foote is quoted as saying "if you say you heard it and weren't scared, that meant you never heard it."
