In 1887 he penned his memoirs "to give," he said, "a simple narrative of my experience in a war campaign." Far from simple, Watson's work clearly and forcefully describes his experiences with the 3rd Louisiana Infantry in battles at Wilson's Creek and Pea Ridge while depicting the mundane aspects of camp life and providing delightful and colorful character sketches of fellow soldiers and officers, including the legendary General Ben McCulloch. But Watson offers much more than the story of a soldier's life. He also provides an excellent depiction of southern society undergoing the crisis of secession and the tumultuous early years of the Civil War. Watson's status as an alien made him keenly aware of the culture of his adopted home, and the first twelve chapters of his work stand alone as a superb primary account of antebellum southern society and politics. Thomas W. Cutrer clearly and succinctly explains the setting of Watson's memoir, thoughtfully detailing the battle history of Watson's regiment and the opinions and ideals of Watson himself.
