Rare Video/Interview: The Last Civil War Veteran (The Civil War Diaries S4E17)  

This is one I always wanted to translate, it’s so tough to understand parts of it!

It’s wild to think how far things have come. It’s hard to say if we have progressed or regressed at this point.

@@BirdDogg So true. I'm sorta like the old man who, on being interviewed on the occasion of his 100th birthday party, was asked, "I bet you've seen a lot of changes in your 100 years, haven't you?" "Yeah, and I was agin ever' one of 'em."LOL

My pleasure

I'm doing the only digging I can do from home! Trying desperately to pull off my first house build at near 50 so just been working every day to try and make it a reality. Fingers crossed I can get back to real digging one of these days

@@BirdDoggthank you, these are priceless, our shared history, it’s a crime there’s no organized search for these gems before they fade away

Thank ya, this one was tricky to transcribe

Agreed! I only wish there were more of these interviews out there. I’m always looking for more, they are so fascinating.

Thanks for coming along!

Hard to imagine the lives these folks lived!

So many lessons to learn from these old vets.

Thanks, was glad to be able to preserve and transcribe it. Was a tricky transcription this time!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Might as well 😂

If I remember right it's called Dude, where's my horse.

Thank you Countryman. Much appreciated. Respect and support from Mississippi.

Nope, it would be both historically and factually accurate.

@@kfischekthat’s ignorant

No

Some don’t want to hear the truth but only the truth will set you free !!!!!! And the truth is slavery is still being used across the Atlantic on the continents from where it actually originated and come from !!!! That’s what’s sad but yet they want to point fingers !!!! Really it’s like Elon Musk told old Don Lemon we were all slaves at one time or the other it was just when !!!! How far do you want to go back !!!!

​@@patrickancona1193They were just ordinary young men caught up in the politics of the time.

Stay tuned!

@BirdDogg Looking forward to it Chris, Have a good night my friend. Been behind watching videos. I got rid of TikTok and Instagram Have only Facebook and RU-vid.

Is it possible to buy it or download it ?

I don’t think it’s for sale anywhere that I know of, you can download it for free though

@@BirdDogg Thank you.

What is it called?

@@forthfarean dude, where’s my horse

There’s always been a lot of dispute surrounding who was the last, if they served, in what context they served etc. as far as what the “official” record shows, Woolson was the last surviving veteran.

@@BirdDogg maybe he was just the last Yankee. In our modern world, some people don't count.
