Encouraged by friends and family, Watkins first published his memories as a newspaper series and then finally in book form in 1882. His great-granddaughter RUTH HILL FULTON McALLISTER earned a bachelor’s degree in History from Vanderbilt University, and lives in Columbia, Tennessee. ROBERT HICKS is the New York Times bestselling author of The Widow of the South and A Separate Country: A Story of Redemption in the Aftermath of the Civil War. He lives near Leiper’s Fork, Tennessee.
