The General Price they mentioned is none other than General Sterling Price:
On August 10, 1861, at the Battle of Wilson's Creek outside Springfield, Price’s and McCulloch’s combined force defeated Lyon, forcing the federals’ withdrawal. At Wilson’s Creek, Lyon earned the unenviable distinction of being the first Union general killed in the war. In September, Price marched northward, driving from the border counties Kansas Jayhawkers under the command of James H. Lane. Price then marched to Lexington, where his army besieged and forced the surrender of a 3,500-man fortified garrison of federal troops and Home Guard under James A. Mulligan.
Pressed by troops under John C. Frémont, commander of the Department of the West, Price soon retreated into the southern counties, where he attended the “rump session” of the legislature and voted for secession in Neosho. After a brief occupation of central Missouri, Price and his state troops went into winter camp near Springfield, where they transferred into Confederate service and in February withdrew to Arkansas.
For this video, I enhanced it using AI optimization software, interpolated it to 60 frames/second, speed-adjusted it and refined it with De Blur, Sharpness and Stabilization. For the audio, I remastered it using noise gate, compression, loudness normalization, EQ and a Limiter.

Can you imagine these 2 old blokes fought in a war with horses,muskets,swords and muzzle loading canons and lived to see a war fought with airplanes,machine guns,poison gas and tanks!

When I was a stupid kid in the early 1960's, I would get bored to tears listening to my 95-year-old great grandmother going on and on about life in the 1800s. She was born 4 years after the end of the civil war. She was one of the less than 2% of women who attended university. She had a successful career as dramatic storyteller. Filling small theaters and sometimes even large venues. Before silent movies, dramatic readings were evidently as popular as films are today. Crazy. I wish someone had recorded her long-winded tales. I'm sure they would fascinate me today as an old geezer.

93 years ago that guy was 94 meaning he was born 187 years ago in 1836 and we can hear him speak. He was born before photography had been invented and Napoleon was still alive on St. Helena. This is amazing.
-
“We didn’t enlist for a month or a year. We enlisted for the WAR” that is the most patriotic statement I’ve ever heard….
-
What stands out about this. 1. How good condition they are in at 94. 2. How the generals of old actually fought alongside their troops. 3. This dude not only knew the name of his general, but also the names of the two opposing soldiers who killed him. That takes the civil war to a whole new level.

The “Dutch” to whom he refers were actually German-Americans. They told Missourians that they were “Deutsch,” which was misunderstood as “Dutch.” The vast majority of German immigrants in Missouri were pro-union, while quite a few of their neighbors were not.

My grandfather is a vet from three wars. WWII, Korean and Vietnam. He was a great role model and took crap from nobody. He figured, if the Japanese navy couldn't kill him, why would he let anyone push him around. Tough as nails but very friendly and down to earth. 🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇸

This video should NOT disappear! We are currently seeing two civil war veterans having a conversation talking about the war! And to think this was over a 100+ years ago! Truly a fascinating piece of history where all newcomers should watch!

I remember a letter in a magazine some decades ago from a man who recalled as a very young boy watching a veterans parade, when a very old man came over to him and asked to shake his hand. He did, and the man told him he was a Civil War vet who had seen a Revolutionary War veteran when he was a child and shook his hand. The Civil War vet told him not to forget he was only two handshakes away from the start of the country. I always wanted to shake that writer's hand. It's unbelievable to think even today, we could still be just three handshakes away from 1776.

Really makes you realize that the Civil War really wasn’t THAT long ago in the grand scheme of things
-
If you know a WW2 veteran, ask them to do an interview about their experiences on camera. Links to the past like this film are precious and few.

My paternal grandma once told me that as a child, she would wrap herself in her grandpa's army coat when she went on wintertime sleigh rides. That grandfather was a union army veteran, so the coat would have been a blue federal great coat. My mom told me that HER mom would sometimes sing "Marching Through Georgia," not because my grandma was some kind of Civil War or history buff but because it was a song she had heard sung by her grandpa, whose regiment served under Gen. William T. Sherman. The Civil War really wasn't that long ago.

The older man was born in 1835. 186 years ago in 2021. He was an adult in the 1850s and a retiree at the turn of the century. The stuff he's seen and lived through is incredible. Interesting how he talks pretty much the same as any old guy today.

“I’m 94, a pretty good age for a young man” 😆 legends
-
The account of General Lyon's death is amazing. From what I read, he was shot off his horse and died. No mention about what this man actually saw, which was that he was pulled from his horse and started fighting to the end, with rocks. and was shot. He even mentions the names of the man Lyon hit, and the one who shot him. Amazing first hand account of a Historical event.

In college I once got to hear audio of an actual Confederate soldier belting out the rebel yell. He was 83, sitting beside his son at a Civil War veterans gathering as his son attempted to reenact the rebel yell. The attempt was okay, but the father, at 83, let loose with that honest to goodness rendition and it was among the most bone chilling sounds I've ever heard.
-
Does anyone realize how amazing this is? You are watching two Civil War soldiers alive and well having a conversation
-
Old men with clear minds. Nice to see that.
-
Legend has it these two men are still having a good time, enjoying themselves very much, and telling stories of their Civil War escapades to this day.

Love watching this. My dad's aunt just turned I think 106 and her sister is 101 I believe and both fairly sharp. It's amazing to think that none of us will ever experience the changes that they have. My grandfather was plowing fields with horses when he started farming and survived the battle of the bulge in ww2 he passed in 2010. He never did talk about what he witnessed in the war. It's crazy how much has technology happened in such a short amount of time.
