Samuel R Watkins of Columbia Tennessee wrote in 1882 of the events of 1862 as a private in company H of the 1st Tennessee.....
"The histories of the Lost Cause are all written out by "big bugs," generals and renowned historians, and like the fellow who called a turtle a 'cooter', being told that no such word as cooter was in Webster's dictionary, remarked that he had as much right to make a dictionary as Mr. Webster or any other man; so have I to write a history."
The biggest misunderstanding is the character's feet being trodded on by a restless child. Only the so-called "churched" gets this. Oh the incalculable numbers of our pew sitting brothers and sisters who have been painfully inconvenienced by passing-by congregants, often youngsters, since the invention of hard shoes !
