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.
