NEW EDITION
From the lost archives of Sam Watkins...
Co. Aytch is one of the most loved memoirs of a
soldier from the Civil War. Sam R. Watkins edited and revised Co.
Aytch, intending to republish it after his first 1882 edition sold
out. However, he died before accomplishing his goal. Afterwards his
family kept his copy tucked away for many years. And for a few years it
was totally lost.
Now recently it has been found and rescued by his
great granddaughter. Sam's copy of his own book contained numerous
hand-written notes with stories, corrections, and changes to his original
edition. Now his great granddaughter has republished his book and added
his notes, along with 65 historic images and photos.
There have been dozens of other editions of Co.
Aytch, but this new hardcover is the first to be published with
additions and revisions by Sam himself. Now 125 years after his first
edition, this is Sam Watkins' own second edition!

published....."

Tennessean |
"The only thing better than Sam Watkins is more Sam
Watkins. This is a marvelous expansion of the best memoir of a fighting
soldier south of the Mason-Dixon line we have."
Ken Burns, Filmmaker
"Among the best known and most quoted Civil War memoirs is that authored
by the irrepressible Confederate soldier Sam Watkins. Annotations made
by Watkins to his seminal 1882 publication will enrich and appeal to the
broad constituency that has been long interested in Sam's trials,
tribulations, and opinions." - Edwin C. Bearrs,
Historian Emeritus, National Parks Service
