The Civil War and this song actually had a lot to do with me entering the field of history, and this is a video I have always wanted to make. The song is, of course, by the legendary Johnny Horton. The paintings are largely the work of Mort Kunstler and Don Troiani, true masters of their craft.

Lee You held your head a-high, tryin' to win the victory You fought for your folks but you didn't die in vain Even though you lost, they speak highly of your name 'Cause you fought all the way, Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb You fought all the way, Johnny Reb I heard your teeth chatter from the cold outside Saw the bullets open up the wounds in your side I saw the young boys as they begin to fall You had tears in your eyes, 'cause you couldn't help at all But you fought all the way, Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb You fought all the way, Johnny Reb I saw, General Lee, raise the sabre in his hand Heard the cannon's roar as you made your last stand You marched in the battle with the gray and the red When the cannon's smoke cleared, took days to count the dead 'Cause you fought all the way, Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb You fought all the way, Johnny Reb When, \"Honest Abe\", heard the news about your fall The folks thought he'd call a great victory ball But he asked the band to play the song, Dixie For you Johnny Reb and all that you believed 'Cause you fought all the way, Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb Yeah, you fought all the way, Johnny Reb You fought all the way, Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb You fought all the way, Johnny Reb You fought all the way, Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb Yeah, you fought all the way Johnny\n
