RIDING A RAID

- Published by J. W. Randolph in Richmond in 1863. The composer was not credited. The melody is from the Scottish tune Bonnie Dundee.
This song chronicles some of the exploits of fabled rebel cavalry commander, J.E.B. Stuart, specifically his 1862 screening movement during Confederate General R.E. Lee’s Sharpsburg/Antietam Campaign. In the fall of that year, Lee’s strategic plans and dispositions had accidentally fallen into the hands of Union General George B. McClellan. Stuart’s screening mission was crucial in buying Gen. Lee enough time to concentrate his scattered forces in preparation for meeting the much larger Union army in battle near Antietam Creek in Maryland. This inconclusive meeting on Sept. 17th, 1862, resulted in the single ‘bloodiest day’ in American military history.
Born and raised in Virginia and known to his familiars as ‘Jeb’, Stuart was an 1854 graduate of West Point Military Academy. He had served as a U.S. Army officer in Texas and Kansas and while serving in 1859 under the command of Robert E. Lee, a captain at that time, he played a major part in the capture of the fierce abolitionist, John Brown, at Harper’s Ferry, Virginia. When Virginia seceded in the spring of 1861, Stuart resigned his commission and joined the Confederate army, ultimately being assigned to serve under Stonewall Jackson in the Shenandoah Valley Campaign of 1862.

Wonderful! As I was listening, I couldn't shake the feeling that the tune sounded familiar - then I read the description and realised it was borrowed from 'Bonnie Dundee'. That put a little smile on my face....Americans and Britons really are cultural cousins in so many ways! Love from the UK 🇬🇧❤🇺🇲
Stacey so nice you like the tune penned at Abbotsford just before sir walter had his breakfast 😀 1825 the tune now belongs to city of dundee any body can play it 😀 it was bought by public subscription in 1940 for over £135.a lot of money then on behalf of cheif librarian tune played on pipes all round the world 🌎 its played at hide park on queens birthday for royal horse artillery they gallop before setting up for 21 gun salute 😀 better cannons than calumbo 😆 🤣 the 2 companies who formed the coldstream guards 💂♂️ were at the seige of the town dundee 1st Sept 1651 general monk ❤❤💙💜💙
The southern accent from America evolved from an accent from a certain area in Britian.
That wasn't a popular opinion 250 years ago.
Though the song is now a British military song, Bonnie Dundee was a Scottish Rebel song.
We’re more than cultural cousins
Amazing! Thank you all for keeping Confederate history alive! God save the South!
Happy memorial day from germany , let's commemorate our southern soldiers !
Yankees tell me Sherman was doing a little trolling in Georgia while I tell them Stuart was doing a little trolling in Pennsylvania
This band is a fabulous asset to American cultural history.
What a crazy nice thing to say ! Thanks !!
You're singing with heart 2nd south👍👍👍
Coming from NYC, the most Yankee place in the land, I love what you guys do. God Bless you Southern brethren!
My little lad at five years old upon seeing any flag "hurrah, hurrah Gibberish.. Hurrah, More Gibberish... SILVER STAR!" 🙂
Greetings from Wales 🏴
I have kin there as does everyone here in the hills. BLESSINGS to the lad! Getting an early start! To you ALSO! GBWYall!
this song is the equivalent to the wind flowing through the bells and the flowers of fields. Dear god this song is beautiful.
Yee are a talented band!!!
Never loose your culture
Hello from England
I love these old civil war and folk songs ...must be that bit of the reb in me 😃
"Long may you wave !" as JEB used to say.
I always keep my girth tight and my reins slack so I'm ready to ride. 😎
God bless Dixie
How hauntingly accurate for the madness of our present times.
A super theme for the PC game "Mosby's Confederacy", and something to start my working day on the road with morning coffee before I "saddle-up".
Fabulous rendition 🤠
I'm literally cryin' that you guys retired. Who is going to continue this such heritage of Southerner?
Beats me, but thanks very much for the kind word ! We miss all of you too !
It's weird hearing Bonnie Dundee with different lyrics but I like it.
I'm going to go listen to Bonnie Dundee for the first time so I get the same feeling in reverse.
It's why I love the South. They can make any tune their own. Fills out my spotify playlist too
Shoot, I didn't realize it was a Jacobite song. God save the King!
Greetings from Poland Southerners!
The same from me!
Greatings for Brazil, come to see the confederate city "Americana" and "Santa Barbara", it was founded by southerns after the civil war.
Sounds nice, Brazil is a beautiful country, with equally beautiful people. I can see why they chose to travel and settle there of all places.
This was posted on my birthday. Best birthday ever
Happy belated bday
Most of my family volunteered in the war on both sides; therefore, my family was torn and sadly they mostly died.
Sorry to hear it. My family had one on either side too, but both survived the war. My brother and I wouldn't be here and we wouldn't be having this exchange if they hadn't...
Same here God bless your family they were truly wonderful
Beautiful as always, good job lads👍👍. Greetins from Spain
Mighty.Greetings from an Irish subscriber

Thanks, Chris !
@@2ndSouthCarolinaStringBand I am honored you took the time to write to me. I had the rare opportunity to see you at Cedar Creek and Gettysburg back in the old days. The first Civil War barn dance I ever went to was hosted by you fine gentlemen. There was a man called Cool White ... Your kidding 🤣🤣🤣. To this day whenever I listen to that part of the album I still crack up.
God Bless Y'all! From London UK.
What an awesome band! Preserving American history, really great stuff! Please keep it up.

Gentlemen sooner or later there'll be a new blood of reenactors that will follow your path to continue to share this music in live events, and let hope they come soon
My 13 year old son has been learning minstrel banjo, been almost a year playing now. At least it’s a little hope for the next generation

Respect from Poland! God bless south!
plenty o scots music influence back in the day
Even the term redneck comes from Scotland as a word for political dissenter or rebel
Very good song, nice job fellers!
Fabulous rendition... you guys make me proud of calling NC home... 🤠
Your musics always nice to listen to while I’m outside having a smoke. Especially since the town I live in tries to keep a old west look to its buildings
Great to see another video! Love it as always!
I’ve always wanted to be able to play a violin, looks hard.
'Tis.
The trick with hard things is to break them down into little not hard things. But especially at the start, it's real tricky.
@@oscarwind4266 I would think so.
Just don't forget to rosin your bow before playing, makes it a bit easier. Also, coincidentally the name of another tune you may enjoy listening to.
I get so excited when a new video comes out from you guys keep up the AMAZING work gents
More to come! Don't forget to subscribe !
Ya'll are the best ever. We need more like you but ...alas
Thanks a lot, Gator Mike ! I hope you've subscribed and hit the notification bell. There's more a-comin'...
@@2ndSouthCarolinaStringBand I was subscribed and have now hit the bell. Wish you could find a way to do another show some day, but I would be unable to contain my myself if I were in attendance. You would hear a lot of rebel yelling.
J.E.B. Stuart, Stonewall Jackson, and Forrest would be proud
Another one! Hurrah!
Amazing as Always!🥳
God bless the South!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man.. where do you guys find gatherings like these? I’d love to see one of these camps in real life one day, I live in Tennessee
they have told me that they are no longer doing shows. sadly.
@@drgarmadon2869 Damn.. what a shame. So sad that this beautiful culture is probably not going to be around much longer..
As long as it's in our hearts it'll live on, greetings from a fellow Tennessean
Search the web for Civil War reenactments in Tennessee and surrounding states. There's usually a big one on a '5th' anniversary of major battles - 125th, 130th, etc. Check out Shiloh, Murfreesboro, Chickamauga, Franklin, Nashville, Chattanooga, etc., etc. Also search for CW reenactment units near you...
@@2ndSouthCarolinaStringBand Woah, thank you guys for responding. Love your stuff keep it up, and I’ll definitely do that.
Amazing
Now, THAT'S my kind of 'wokeness' !!!
@@2ndSouthCarolinaStringBand Oh yeah!
Isn't the tune the same as Bonnie Dundee?
Yes, it says so in the description.
Will y'all come play at my wedding??? xoxo
😂🤣😂
Is it alright if I show up to one of these Confederate sing-along events dressed as a Union officer?
It’s all a part of a history all Americans share. Sure.
As long as you're not an ass about it I'm sure they won't care.
Without Yankees, who would we 'play' with ? Everyone is welcome.
I reckon if it weren't for the yankees, we wouldn't have had all these wonderful songs that these gentlemen troubadours play so well for us now! Big salute to the 2nd South Carolina String Band from your neighbor in Georgia.....Deo Vindice!!!
God Be Wi Ye, Brethren! Be THANKED!
I like it :)
