Like the author, my great-great-great grandfather was a soldier in the Fifteenth Iowa, Company G. Unfortunately, he was severely wounded in the first day of fighting at Shiloh, ending his military career. It was thrilling to read the account of the forming of the Company. I was very disappointed at the decision to use the 15th to try to stop the rout by the Confederates, as the men had just been issued their weapons and ammo the day of the battle, and never had a chance to even test fire them. Ah, but such is the wisdom of the military, even today. I am very proud of the performance of Company G, brave even in the face of overwhelming odds.

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. ?There is much to learn from and enjoy about this short but rich account. Boyd fully revealed the sordid reality and the tender moments of his army service.??Earl J. Hess, from his Introduction Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
