Co. Aytch, First Tennessee Regiment

The classic ?Co. Aytch? has reigned as one of the most memorable and honest depictions of the American Civil War since its original publication in 1882. Sam R. Watkins's first-hand account of life as a Confederate soldier eloquently captured the realities of war, the humor and pathos of soldiering, and the tragic, historic events in which he participated. Although there have been dozens of versions of ?Co. Aytch? published, this is the first with new material and revisions by Sam Watkins himself. Intending to republish after his first edition sold out, Watkins edited and revised ?Co. Aytch, ? adding a new perspective that only came with time. He died before accomplishing his goal. Now more than one hundred years later, Watkins's great granddaughter, Ruth Hill Fulton McAllister has used his yellowed, aged, and pencil-marked copy handed down through different family members to craft a masterpiece and fulfill Sam's dream.Watkins, Sam R. is the author of 'Co. Aytch, First Tennessee Regiment', published 2008 under ISBN 9781577363828 and ISBN 1577363825.
