Welcome to Stroud's Selected Site Suggestions where you will find several valuable items available nowhere else on the web. Below you will find the first regimental history of the Fifth Iowa Volunteer Cavalry to be presented on the internet. The second site offers a facsimile copy of the actual cavalry training manual used by the Union during the war between the states. The pages which follow are related to the history of the Roman military machine, which helped shape the history of the western world.
Following these historic links, you will find a collection of outstanding quotations from that eloquent defender of the Christian faith, C.S. Lewis. In the same Spirit as that which inspired Lewis, the next offering is our own humble paraphrase of some hymns from the First Century Anno Domini.
Next on the list is a collection of tidbits about the most (in)famous Robert Stroud to ever live. (Couldn't resist, since we share the same name... though that is where the similarity ends.)
Below you will also find three other interesting sites that we highly recommend. If you've never explored the great diversity of contemporary Christian music, today would be a great time to begin. The Christian Classics Library, hosted by Wheaton University offers a wide range of useful texts. And, the USAF Chief of Chaplains page affords visitors a unique glance into the military.
