    Description

    This hardcover volume measures ~6 1/4" x 9 1/4", and contains 235 pp, including 13 pages of photos and various illustrations.  From the book dust jacket: "The American Civil War inspired an impressive number of soldier memoirs.  Most of these have only limited value either as history or literature, but a few stand out as exceptions to the general rule. . . . the Army of Tennessee had a few accomplished narrators who in the years following Appomattox took pen in hand and recorded their soldier experiences.  The most delightful of these accounts, as well as the one most frequently cited by historians of the Western campaigns is Sam R. Watkins' 'Co. Aytch', Maury Grays, First Tennessee Regiment; or A Side Show of the Big Show."
