Some time ago, I heard a recording of a Confederate soldier from the Civil War talking from some sort of old recording device. He did not sound like what one thinks when one thinks of Southerners. Apparently, the drawl we know now is not that old. I’m doing some research on the topic and appreciate any assistance in finding any audio pertaining to this.
