Of the 120 men who enlisted in "Company H" (Or Co. Aytch as he
calls it) in 1861, Sam Watkins was one of only seven alive when
General Joseph E. Johnston's Army of Tennessee surrendered to
General William Tecumseh Sherman in North Carolina on April, 1865.
Of the 1,200 men who fought in the First Tennessee, only 65 were
left to be paroled on that day. "Co. Aytch: A Confederate Memoir of
the Civil War" is heralded by many historians as one of the best
war memoirs written by a common soldier of the field. Sam R.
Watkin's writing style in "Co Aytch" is quite engaging and
skillfully captures the pride, misery, glory, and horror
experienced by the common foot soldier.
