As a child, I saw Jerry Lewis in 'The Man With A Thousand Faces', or 'Dr. Jeckell and Mr. Hyde'; don't remember which; but the scary part was when he drank some potion and started turning into some monster type. I had to avert my eyes due to fear. Now I understand the rebel yell invoked some mania among the receiving troops as 100's of cavalry or infantry would swoop down upon them, with the rebels screaming like maniacs let loose from a cage and creating hysteria. Like an unstoppable force of wind in a storm, it would sweep over the defenders, spreading havoc and dismay, only to turn about on the other side, and regroup for a second charge. It created a vortex of death, destruction and dismay, and men would freeze up or run; unless you like bold stories of men with iron nerves, taut as steel, and taking cool aim, delivering their own volley. Which is it? Truth or wishful thinking after all....
