A great rendition of this song.

[Kerflumoxed]

A post-war song, but a great version by Hoyt Axton!

I couldn't resist..

"The boys got their dander up. We deployed the whole division and went after 'em, we just about had 'em running when all the sudden they got up infantry support.. we got pushed back. But then we, then we reformed and tried again. We couldn't just leave it to 'em sauh. But now there's more yankee infantry coming up--I don't know how many. But I don't know what else we could'a done, it started out as a minor scrap with a few m'lisha and next thing I know, I'm tanglin' with half the union army!"

I could probably quote the entire movie with the accents

I hear ya, I have watched that movie so much, I had a dream in which I was in the 20th Maine and eveybody said exactly what they did in the movie.

It was my privilege to have been part of a color guard in Kemper's brigade in the Pickett's Charge scenes in the movie. We advanced across the ground of the Spangler farm on the actual location where it happened 128 years earlier. Also I switched uniforms and was a soldier in Hay's division waiting behind the stone wall near the Bryan barn to receive our Southern "guests". Quite an experience. Anyone else here participate in the movie?

No closeups where you could recognize me. Some of my friends, though, got in some closeups. I did get to meet Martin Sheen.

Missed out on the first one.

However, I participated in Gods & Generals a few years later

As well as Class of '61, Last Confederate Widow, Sweet home Alabama, and A Perfect Tribute

It is too bad there hasn't been another good Civil War movie released recently. Gods and Generals wasn't good at all and it left out pieces that would have been really entertaining. I like Gettysburg b/c of the fact it was one battle and the story itself is great. I guess that is why they won't make a feature length film called "Kernstown"
