The Civil War Diary Of Cyrus F. Boyd, Fifteenth Iowa Infantry, 1861-1863 [Illustrated Edition]

By: Lieut. Cyrus F. Boyd

Includes Civil War Map and Illustrations Pack - 224 battle plans, campaign maps and detailed analyses of actions spanning the entire period of hostilities. “[One of] the Union side’s most revealing and realistic views of soldier life....The diary is especially important for the light which it throws on such basic matters as the tortuous progression from civilian to veteran, the course of morale, the character of soldier life in a volunteer army, the quality of leadership, the awesomeness of battle, and the brutality of war.”—Bell Irvin Wiley, in the Journal of Southern History A native of Warren County, Iowa, Cyrus F. Boyd served a year and a half as an orderly sergeant with the Fifteenth Iowa Infantry before becoming first Lieutenant in Company B of the Thirty-fourth Iowa Infantry. His diary—expanded in 1896 from a pocket diary he carried on his campaigns from Indianola, Iowa, to Lake Providence, Louisiana—offers a full account of soldiering in the Union army. Before his promotion, Boyd was an intermediary between privates and company officers, a position that offered him unique opportunities to observe the attitudes and activities of both the unit leaders and their men. The outspoken Boyd frankly expresses his opinions of his comrades and his commanders, candidly depicts camp life, and intricately details the gory events on the battlefield. Although not always pleasant reading, The Civil War Diary of Cyrus F. Boyd is a vibrant, honest chronicle of one man’s experiences in the bloody conflict. The diary has been heavily edited to ensure it can be understood, initially there was little to no punctuation included.

My Brother Death

My Brother Death

By: Cyrus Sulzberger

This remarkable book by the distinguished journalist Cyrus Sulzberger is in a modern sense comparable to Burton’s famous The Anatomy of Melancholy. My Brother Death is a thoughtful and finely written effort to discern just what death is, to define both it and its relationship to man, to discuss how to meet its inevitable approach and what may lie beyond. To accomplish this purpose Mr. Sulzberger draws heavily from the history of human thought and experience, from all the principal religions of East and West; from the philosophers, saints, kings and heroes who one by one have crossed to the unknown. He documents and dramatizes the entire panorama of the ways in which men die: by acts curiously attributed to the God of disaster, pestilence, famine and illness; by man’s own hand in murder, war, cannibalism, capital punishment and religious persecution. How does death approach and how and why do the brave best prepare to meet it? Not only does the author introduce the reader to the reflections of outstanding men upon their final des tiny; he himself has spent many years contemplating this problem which is everyone’s secret concern. He has personally investigated death on many battlefields and on all seven continents of this earth. By these investigations and by his own deep study of history, philosophy and the dimly remembered customs of our atavistic past, he has assembled a fascinating and, in a sense, comforting picture of human courage, a courage that triumphs over human evil. This sad but lovely tale of eternity and our own role in its embrace begins appropriately on a happy little Greek island. It ends there, aeons later, among “the soft Aegean waters that bear me northward and backward into time.”

Sketches of Western North Carolina Illustrating Principally the Revolutionary Period of Mecklenburg, Rowan, Lincoln and Adjoining Counties

By: Cyrus L Hunter

This work consists almost entirely of biographical sketches of Revolutionary War officers and soldiers from the North Carolina counties of Burke, Cabarrus, Cleveland, Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Rowan, and Wilkes, with considerable information on them and extensive genealogies of their families. Hunter uses a county-by-county arrangement to portray, in toto, a history of the Revolutionary War in the western and southwestern half of the state. The chapter on Cleveland County, with its references to the American commanders at the Battle of King's Mountain, is of particular interest to students of the Revolutionary War. With an Added Index of Names.

Fischer: Move by Move

By: Cyrus Lakdawala

Bobby Fischer is a legendary chess figure, and many consider him to be the greatest chess player of all time. Fischer was a child prodigy who later developed into a phenomenal force. During his peak years he dominated his nearest rivals in a manner that had previously never been seen. Fischer achieved his goal of becoming World Champion after beating Boris Spassky in their ‘Match of the Century’ in 1972, an epic contest which did more than anything else to popularize the game throughout the world. In this book, former American Open Champion Cyrus Lakdawala studies his favourite Fischer games. Lakdawala examines Fischer’s renowned skills in attack, defence, counterattack, exploiting imbalances, dynamic elements, accumulating advantages and endgame play. Move by Move provides an ideal platform to study chess. By continually challenging the reader to answer probing questions throughout the book, the Move by Move format greatly encourages the learning and practising of vital skills just as much as the traditional assimilation of knowledge. Carefully selected questions and answers are designed to keep you actively involved and allow you to monitor your progress as you learn. This is an excellent way to improve your chess skills and knowledge.
