Fire Fighter Maltese Cross

In the fire of war, Colonel Edward E. Cross garnered glory as commander of the unit that sustained more battlefield casualties than any in the Union Army. General Winfield Scott Hancock, who called Cross's Fifth New Hampshire Volunteers as good as any regiment in the world, told Cross at Gettsyburg, "After this battle you'll get your general's star." "Too late, General, " Cross replied, as he rode out to his death in combat. The success of My Brave Boys: To War with Colonel Cross and the Fighting Fifth (UPNE, 2001) has led to a resurgence of interest in the Fifth New Hampshire and its charismatic and enigmatic commander. Now history comes alive in this first published collection of Cross's writings and correspondence from his years commanding the Fighting Fifth. The cornerstone of Stand Firm and Fire Low is Cross's Civil War diary, transcribed with annotations from his handwritten original, along with battlefield diagrams in Cross's own hand, twenty-seven letters, on-the-scene reports, and his epic battlefield poetry. The book breathes life into a controversial figure, showing how he molded a thousand New Hampshire volunteer soldiers into a renowned infantry regiment that fought some of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War, including Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg.

Double Feature includes "Cross Of Fire" and "Nitti: The Enforcer" "Cross Of Fire" - The Emmy Award Winning "Cross Of Fire" is a riveting, explosive historical drama, following the tyrannical rise and shocking fall of D.C. Stephenson (John Heard), the Grand Dragon of the Klu Klux Klan. Successful at feeding on the weaknesses of others, and twisted by his unquenchable thirst for power, Stephenson's arrogance reaches delusional proportions when he kidnaps and forcibly violates a woman (Mel Harris) who has spurned his advances. Brought to stand trial for his vicious and heinous crime, Stephenson has the state's most renowned defense lawyer (Lloyd Bridges) to defend him. Stehenson's arrogance, however, soon turns to desperation. He turns on his fellow Klan members and in doing so reveals the nationwide influence and power of the Klan's bigotry and hypocrisy. An homage to the brave and dedicated people who took on Stephenson against great odds, and an incisive portrait of how power corrupts, "Cross Of Fire" speaks to the past, the present and to the future. "Nitti: The Enforcer" - Here is the true life story of Frank Nitti, world famous gangster and infamous enforcer for mobster boss Al Capone. Set in the 1920s Chicago and featuring a stellar ensemble cast, "Nitti: The Enforcer" is a fantastically vivid and dramatic portrait of prohibition America. Showcasing historical events such as the Valentine's Day massacre and the assassination of Chicago's Mayor Cermak, this film accurately depicts both Nitti's role in American history and the personal triumphs and downfalls of this notorious and complex man. An Italian immigrant who started from nothing, Nitti rises to the top of the underworld through his brains, ambition and fearlessness. Nitti is the man who organizes American crime and makes Al Capone a feared but revered household name.
