It's also been documented that Confederate soldiers would do the Yell on long marches or even in camp, to boost moral. One such occasion the Yell was struck up in a rebel camp, then spread to the next and then the next. Soon the whole Confederate army camped in that area had joined in the cadence. Stonewall Jackson had walked out of his tent and leaned against a fence post to listen to the chorus. After it was over he said it was the most beautiful sound he ever heard.
Damn, that *is* unnerving. And supposedly a real, honest-to-God Rebel yell can only be done in the heat of battle. Can you imagine being a Union soldier and seeing like a couple dozen Rebs coming at you, screaming like that?

@StAraqiel: Nope, but mainly because I can't imagine myself being a Union soldier for any reason.
