Welcome to Co. Aytch: A Confederate Memoir of the Civil War, the unforgettable firsthand account of Private Sam Watkins of Company H, First Tennessee Infantry. Written two decades after the war, this memoir is not the lofty perspective of a general or a strategist — it's the mud-splattered, bullet-dodging truth of a common Southern soldier.

With wit, grit, and remarkable honesty, Watkins takes us through the smoke and chaos of America's bloodiest conflict — from Shiloh to Chickamauga, from starvation to survival. He writes not to glorify war, but to remember it — in all its horror, absurdity, and moments of strange beauty.

This is not just a history book — it's a voice from the past, echoing through the trenches and telling the story from where it was truly lived: the front lines.
