Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: The book that inspired the Paramount Picture, "Branded," starring Alan Ladd. "Ride like hell!" cried the Kid, and urged his own mustang into a racing gallop. The rifles spluttered, and bullets hailed. The Montana Kid killed a man at the age of fifteen. He’d fight at the drop of a hat. But now it was getting hot in Old Mexico for the Kid and his friends. Mateo Rubriz and his bandit gang, and Hermozo, the renegade Indian chieftain, were all out gunning for a piece of the Kid's sun-weathered hide. But the Kid was smart. He led them all on a wild, bullet-strewn chase across the desert and over the mountains - a chase that could only end with the Kid and Rubriz standing face to face.
