Incredible Song, I think I'm going to buy the album. I think its going to be totally worth $12 for the physical copy!

Great song. To this day the vegetation in the 'Iverson's Pits' portion of that field is different... Darker.... Deeper green....

Beautiful song. I know the boys appreciated it. I've been reenacting for 38 years and now have to retire from it due to my knees (VietNam) but I salute those brave boys from NC even though I'm in the 58th Indiana Mounted Infanry.

Just another example of lives uselessly thrown away by incompetent leadership. Iverson's brigade was allowed to drift off it's intended line of advance and fall prey to Baxter's brigade which was sheltered behind a stone wall. Baxter's brigade had just decimated O'neal's brigade of Alabamans, once again due to the lack of leadership and direction by O'Neal (who also stayed in the rear). General Rodes had also detached two of O'Neal's regiments. This also was another example of poor leadership.

@16lydgate That is so cool, mate! I did CW reenacting for 35 years untill my knees gave out due to age (61) but I still love the old music, and god bless you for loving our history. Yours is pretty impressive as well. I've been studying Rourke's Drift for many years and a would love to go see the actual site of the battle.
