What a terrible experience to find yourself in the presence of a mortally wounded soldier suffering intense pain, and to have him beg you to kill him in order to end his enormous suffering! That's obviously an experience that will never be forgotten.- It's interesting that McHenry Howard was named after the fort that inspired The Star Spangled Banner.
I appreciate the stories by the men that were there. I am tired of the new " this is how it was" being taught to our kids by teachers saying that what the men wrote about is not the way it was. Even historians now think they know more about what went on or happened than the men that were actually there. Thanks for your videos.
Having relic hunted Manassas in the late 1950’s, I can tell you when you walk that hallowed ground you always know when you found a minie ball or Southern round ball fired or dropped, you always think about the soldier whose hands was last held it! After the battle, dead lay on the ground for days. I remember a pamphlet titled “THE DEAD, BEHEAD EASILY”
Love to hear these firsthand accounts af action. So much went on besides people shooting at each other. The stories that come from just one battle. It’s astounding. To handle what they went through with such class and respect for their enemy. It was war but, not how we think of it. Again, love it. Good stuff. Deo Vindice
My Great(x3)Grandfather was in the 16th Maine Reg.,Co.K and lost his leg at Fredericksburg....The toughness of these men is astonishing and unfortunately may have to happen again...
Sureman was quite a bit of saying that he was one of the most psychopathic general's in existence He told his manager even shoot the people Grandmother's mother's kids dogs he was a pure psychopath
The shell explosion fragments, at 1st Bull Run (July, 1861), struck Ed Kirby Smith's neck and shoulder. He oversaw Florida's State Defenses, during time recovering from the wounds. In October, Smith returned to Virginia, with a promotion to Major General, and later placed in command West of the Mississippi River.
MD was a border state, like KY and MO. They had a lot of populations they fought on both sides. Most of the times, it amazes me how they killed each other at alarming rates. Then they would help wounded soldiers from the opposing side. I guess compassion always make sense. Like Sgt Kirkland, him another story of a confederate soldier who stopped attended some wounded enemies. He left them this canteen and when the battle shifted, he came back to get his canteen and said, " your yanks are taking the line." Whether it happened or not, I thought it was a great story.
McHenry Howard (1838 -- 1923) married Julia (1842 -- 1908); together they had 4 children. His luck ran out at Saylor's Creek (April, 1865), where he was captured. In May, 1865, he took an Oath of loyalty to the United States, and was free to return home. His maternal grandfather was Francis Scott Key.
Fascinating portrayal of a prominent Confederate Marylander, with mention also of his company commander, Capt. William Murray, formerly of the pre-war 53rd Maryland Guard Zouaves and one of the best-known Marylanders who fought for the Confederacy.
Ehh, hard to say but judging by the sound of many of the actual recordings of civil war veterans I’d say it’s not too far off. With that said, it’s all conjecture and the tone of voice isn’t really the important part of this story, the tone of the content is.
I reckon that’s hard to say. If I said yes or no, who could prove me wrong? I can say, having listened to many recordings of civil war veterans from the south, it’s not far off.
He was from Maryland which might have been different from someone in southern Appalachia or north Florida . as it is today . Many people do not realize that many southerners were more well educated and considered and conducted themselves as the elite gentry class not far removed from the same strata of British from whom they were descended.

People were so much more eloquent then.
Thank you for your continued hard work and dedication to the memory of these brave men.

Thank you for this very good narration of this letter.
I wear a Confederate grey kepi to honour these hero men of the Confederacy.-Canadian sympathizer🇨🇦
Thank you for this excellent recounting. Having grown up near Berryville and Winchester VA I recognize the surnames Elsea and Swisher to this day
Great stuff, thanks for the history!

Approx. 25,000 Marylanders fought for CSA. Not taught in schools. The Maryland line.
More Marylanders would have joined CSA but Maryland was under siege from union stopping Maryland from coming another state to joining CSA
1st Maryland CSA fought the 1st Maryland USA at Front Royal VA. CSA beat them.
This is my favorite channel!!❤

My ancestor was in The Black Horse Cavalry he mentions in the beginning
I very much doubt that soldier's voice sounded anything like THAT

@BirdDogg Just saying....the photo is of a young Southerner in his 20s. The audio sounds like a 70 year old man from Oxford, UK.
Lol
is this really the dialect for a southerner of this time period?
