| Summary | "Cyrus W. Field, His Life and Work [1819-1892]" by Isabella Field Judson is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the life of Cyrus W. Field, a key figure in the development of the transatlantic telegraph, and offers an intimate look into his family background, early struggles, and significant achievements throughout his life. This work not only details the personal and professional milestones of Field but also reflects the societal and technological changes of his era. The opening of the narrative introduces Cyrus W. Field, starting with his birth and detailing his parentage, including a glimpse into the life of his father, David Dudley Field, who was a prominent congregational minister. It paints a vivid picture of Cyrus's childhood and upbringing in a Puritanical household in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, highlighting the morals and values instilled in him from an early age. As the reader progresses, they witness Field's early experiences that shaped his character and ambitions, ultimately leading him to seek his fortune in New York, where the story hints at the beginnings of his entrepreneurial journey.
