A darn good reading of the memoirs of the confederate soldier Sam Watkins of the 1st Tennessee. One of the more famous book of remembrance of the war, written (and ultimately in this case listened to) eloquently and simply that coveys the thoughts and feeling s of the common soldier during that horrible war. Made more famous by Ken Burn's Civil War series, Mr. Watkins book is one that should be read or listened to by any and all who would like to get away from the academic side of the topic and get into the nitty gritty of what it was really like as a soldier for the southern side of things. This specific edition was read well enough by Pat Bottino, if I were to nit pick, I would have picked someone who had a bit more of a southern accent to do justice to the author and the topic. A four out of five for sure and would recommend to anyone who has interest in history. ( ) I'd never heard of Company Aytch before stumbling upon it at LibriVox performed by one of my favorite narrators, Winston Tharp. I'm glad I listened to it since it translates well to audio, Tharp has a natural gift that brings back alive this old southern raconteur's conversational memoir. At times it seemed like a modernist or post-modernist work but really it was just Sam rebelling convention. The most interesting of course is the private's view of the war and I was amazed at how brutal Confederate soldiers were treated by top commanders and other petty acts on down the line. Sam saw a lot of death and details graphically brains slopping out into food plates, etc.. terrible but he remains lighthearted. Great memoir from any war this is a classic that has been widely quoted. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
