Here's an interesting link about Julius Franklin Howell, a corporal in the 24th Virginia Cavalry.

The recording of Howell on a wax cylinder was apparently made in 1944, when he was 98.

That was really something, makes you wish you could of talked to the gentlemen yourself and listen to his story. Reminds me of when I use to ask my dad about his time in the Navy during WWII, and other relatives from that time frame.
