This memoir by Sam R. Watkins tells of his experience during the American Civil War. Sam joined the Confederate army when he was twenty-one and fought in battles from Shiloh to Nashville. He wrote the memoir twenty years after the war, and it blends the horror of war with a sense of humor that readers will enjoy. It tells of the Confederate common foot soldiers, its commanders, its Yankee enemies, its victories and defeats, and its ultimate surrender in 1865. Considered a classic Civil War memoir, this story of one man's experience in the war will be hard to put down. Very readable and engrossing. 240 pgs, pb. ~ Rachel

Description
Publisher's Description of Co. Aytch by Sam R. Watkins
A classic Civil War memoir, Co. Aytch is the work of a natural storyteller who balances the horror of war with an irrepressible sense of humor and a sharp eye for the lighter side of battle. It is a testament to one man’s enduring humanity, courage, and wisdom in the midst of death and destruction.
Early in May 1861, twenty-one-year-old Sam R. Watkins of Columbia, Tennessee, joined the First Tennessee Regiment, Company H, to fight for the Confederacy. Of the 120 original recruits in his company, Watkins was one of only seven to survive every one of its battles, from Shiloh to Nashville.
Twenty years later, with a “house full of young ‘rebels’ clustering around my knees and bumping about my elbows,” he wrote this remarkable account—a memoir of a humble soldier fighting in the American Civil War, replete with tales of the common foot soldiers, commanders, Yankee enemies, victories, defeats, and the South’s ultimate surrender on April 26, 1865.

Category Description for Notgrass High School History
Studying history alongside quality literature resources has always made sense to me. Evidently it makes sense to the Notgrass family as well because they’ve developed a well-organized and user-friendly curriculum that integrates these two subjects and adds a solid Bible component. The courses may be completed in any order during the high school years; however, the publisher suggests the following sequence: Exploring World Geography, Exploring World History, Exploring America, and Exploring Government and Economics.
Exploring World Geography, Exploring World History, and Exploring America are each one year in length, providing three high school credits if using all the components and recommended literature titles. Exploring World History and Exploring America offers a credit in history, English (literature and composition), and Bible. The Exploring World Geography course also includes three credits: History, English, and Worldview. Exploring Government and Exploring Economics are semester-length courses, and would offer 1/2 credit in Government and English, and Economics and English, respectively. See each course for more information.
Either as independent study courses or discussion-based studies, the written-to-the-student texts allow for as much or as little involvement as parents choose (or are able) to give. There is a permeating emphasis on Bible and Christian history but no denominational bias. Curriculum Packages include required texts and primary source book. The Student Review Pack includes Student Review Book, Quiz & Exam Book, and Answer Key. The Student Review Book (part of the Student Review Pack) offers review/discussion questions, Bible commentary for Part 1 of Exploring World History, and literary analysis and review questions for all literature. Quiz & Exam Book holds quizzes and exams; the answer key is a separate book. Reading assignments for the recommended literature accompany the lessons.
