1862 G. M. Neese Diary June in Three Years in Confederate Horse Artillery (1911) 74 I heard a mighty shout on the mountain side..and in a few minutes after I saw General Dick Taylor's Louisianans debouching from the undergrowth, and like a wave crested with shining steel rush toward the fatal coaling and deadly battery with fixed bayonets, giving the Rebel yell like mad demons.

1863 A. J. L. Fremantle Jrnl. 2 July in Three Months in Southern States 265 The Southern troops, when charging, or to express their delight, always yell in a manner peculiar to themselves... The Confederate officers declare that the rebel yell has a particular merit, and always produces a salutary and useful effect upon their adversaries. A corps is sometimes spoken of as a ‘good yelling regiment’.

1868 Harper's Mag. Sept. 488/1 A tall woman..uttered a long, piercing cry, which Humphreys afterward described as ‘a rebel yell’, and Alec as ‘a keen whoop’.

1936 M. Mitchell Gone with the Wind vi. 121 Stuart Tarleton's voice rose, in an exultant shout, ‘Yee-aay-ee!’ as if he were on the hunting field. And she heard for the first time..the Rebel yell.

1945 S. Lewis Cass Timberlane (1946) xxix. 193 No dance at the Heather Country Club was canonical without the presence of Jay Laverick, emitting the rebel yell.

1974 ‘P. Ruell’ Death takes Low Road x. 126 For God's sake, lassie, can you no' keep your voice down to less than a rebel yell?

1999 Time 15 Feb. 74/1 ‘But those plays aren't really Shakespeare's!’ That is the rebel yell of a hardy band of amateur historians as they catch the wave of the bard's new vogue to resplash their thesis: Shakespeare did not write Shakespeare; Edward de Vere did.
