According to legend, a soldier from Alabama was the sole Confederate survivor of a bloody Civil War battle. Stumbling across the battlefield, he came across a wounded young eagle.  Several years later the soldier, a former Auburn student, returned to college as a faculty member, bringing the bird with him. On the day of Auburn's first football game in 1892 against the University of Georgia, at the end of the game, the eagle took a sudden dive, crashed into the ground, and died, giving his spirit to the Auburn fans. War Eagle is the official fight song of Auburn University.
