This is an amazing time-capsule - a collection of original black & white newsreels and footage of Confederate Veteran Reunions throughout the early 20th century at various locations in the south. This allows us for the first time to actually see and hear the gallant heroes of the American Civil War. Includes some interviews and a fun moment with the Veterans showing off their "Rebel Yell" skills for the microphone.
