As the descendant of a "Billy" (a Union enlisted man - 4th New York Volunteer Cavalry), I have total respect for the "Johnnys" who fought on the other side, and General Lee is one of my heroes. I salute Johnnyreb Palmer.

I love the song and Kathy's mellow voice. It's so sad to think of the thousands of vacant chairs at every reunion since this was written.

What its worth, Confederate as my family was, and still are, There is nothing but respect for them "yankee" boys. Those whome R.E. Lee refused to call the enemy, but "those people". They all fought under conditions that we modern soldiers could never imagine.

It is absolutely great that someone keeps those patriots memory alive, those brave men who died fighting for what a WAR we will never win

For people who like this song its from Ken Burns' The Civil War film series. Please watch it and you'll catch a lot more great songs too.

This is my favorite rendition of this wonderful song. You can find it on CD on "Songs of the Civil War" (the Columbia Records version)

Well, as I admire the soldier and bravery, glad it was a yankee instead of one of ours.

I recall an old soldier saying, "There's nothing noble about war. Everybody loses!"

My grandfather from Wisconsin requested that this song to be played at his funeral when he died. I went up to Wisconsin with my dad in 1992. At the funeral they played this song and I wasstunned ( being a civil war reenactor and a CW buff) - after the funeral I went up to the funeral director and inquired about why my grandfather picked the song. The director told me of course your grandfather told me when he was in his youth around 1910 to the early 1920's he would listen to the old Union veterans singing civil war songs in front of steps at the court house on every Saturday morning...there were three other civil war songs sung in his funeral too....my grandfather never told me about this experience.

I still think it sounds good, and my ears are working just fine.

Tears are running down my face as I watch this video. I love the song and the way Kathy sings it, not to mention the backup singers but I have to admit, it's is one of the saddest songs I've ever heard.
God Bless,
Jeff :)

A wonderful rendition with a lot of pathos. They all died for the development of our country!(North&South)
