Civil War Diary of Cyrus F. Boyd

THe Civil War Diary of Cyrus F. Boyd Fifteenth IOwa Infantry 1861-1863
LSU Press 1998.

A good look into the internal working of an Infantry Regiment. Boyd is candid and insightful... if a bit full of himself. If anything I strongly suggest this title simply because it is such a candid look into the life of an everyday soldier of the time.
