Leader RedBaird Posted November 22, 2018 Leader Posted November 22, 2018 (edited) From the YouTube description " ... Julius Howell enlisted at 16 to fight for the Confederacy in 1862. In this 1947 recording in DC, Howell at age 101, recalls his Civil War..." Another comment: jimmyboy131 1 year ago When was the last time you heard someone say, "back in '61", and he means 1861... BTW, I thought that this would be an audio recording on one of Edison's recording tubes! Edited November 22, 2018 by RedBaird Jimmyboy's observation 1 Quote
Cit0 Posted November 22, 2018 Posted November 22, 2018 Wow listened to the whole thing there, what a historical recount and recall of events that occurred during such a critical time in United states growth as a country. The very end of the recording is quite telling of how much political effect even back then could change the outlook of so many. Quote
