Overview
Sam Watkins, a "high-private" in the Confederate Infantry, returned home to Maury County, Tennessee and wrote his memories of the War Between the States. Together, these writings form "Company Aytch (H): Or a Side Show of the Big Show." This book has become known and beloved around the world.
To celebrate Sam Watkins' literary achievements, a book festival will be held at Historic Elm Springs on March 14th. Attendees will be able to meet and hear authors and shop thousands of gently used books. This event is free and open to the public.
