Civil War

Here is a Steve Earle song About a Gettysburg soldier. They use minor swearing. If I where you I would turn the song down to a quarter of Maximum.







I enjoy this song because it is about Kilrain of the 20th Maine. (even though Kilrain is Irish, because the Union has lots of different kinds of people in this example, Irish) Whenever we used to play this song Lucas would pull a chair up to the speaker so he could hear it better. (Even though the song is loud enough!)

Kilrain was in the 20th Maine, led by Joshua Chamberlain. In a time that the 20th Maine ran out of ammunition, at Gettysburg, Joshua had all of his soldiers attach bayonets (sharp steel) to the ends of there guns and charge down the hill. The effect was amazing. The enemy, (South, Confederates) were destroyed. Sadly Kilrain lost his life at Gettysburg.

This song is based on the book The Killer Angels or in movie form, Gettysburg. They are long and rated the same as the movie up there. Both of them are fantastic. Amazing. Worth your time. The minimal age for both in my opinion is seven.
