“I can feel him here. The General would be pleased.” –Pvt. Preston T. Furlow, 12th Texas Infantry
“It’s the opportunity of a lifetime to actually execute the final order of a Confederate General.” st Sgt. Ronnie Hatfield, 12th Texas Infantry
When was the last time you attended a Confederate General’s funeral? If you enjoy history and military pageantry, you’ll want The General’s Last Goodbye . Through the lens of a professional who dives into the middle of things, you’ll see up-close angles that spectators and even the hundreds of re-enactor participants missed. Enthusiastic viewers also rave about the sounds of an army on the move, swishing of the ladies’ fine mourning clothes, and the extraordinary music soundtrack.
See exhumation ceremonies; the lying in state under military guard; funeral service at the Moody-Bradley antebellum house; procession with mourners, riderless horse, and flag-draped coffin on caisson; burial service with musket and 21-gun artillery salutes, bagpipes, Dixie and Tattoo; campground scenes and music; and interviews with descendents and participants.
This may be the one-of-a-kind in 100 years. The last known reburial of a general was in 1910. Co-hosts Johnson-Sayers-Nettles Camp 1012 of the Texas Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans, and Company A of the 12th Texas Infantry Regiment went to great lengths to research and recreate accurate military protocol in every aspect of the event.
Audio CDs (music soundtrack only) are available for $10, tax and shipping included.
