"Thomas John Wood (September 25, 1823 – February 26, 1906) was a career United
States Army officer and a Union general during the American Civil War. During early
days of the Civil War, Wood helped organize, train, and equip several volunteer
regiments in Indiana. In October 1861, he was promoted to brigadier general of Indiana
volunteers.. Wood commanded a brigade in the Tennessee and Mississippi
campaigns at the beginning of the war. He commanded a division in the Army of the
Ohio, then in the Army of the Cumberland. Wood was present at second day of the
Battle of Shiloh. Wood was wounded during the Battle of Murfreesboro in December
1862. He suffered controversy at the Battle of Chickamauga, where he was blamed for
contributing to William S. Rosecrans's defeat. A breakdown in situational awareness by
Rosecrans and poor staff work resulted in Wood receiving a seemingly senseless
order that, if literally obeyed, required him to pull his division out of the line to the
support of another division further to his left, dangerously creating an unprotected gap
in the right of the line. Instead of verifying his commander's actual intent, Wood elected
to regard the order as imperative and moved his division out of its position. Historian
Peter Cozzens wrote: 'While Wood read the order, [Col.] Starling began to explain its
intent. Wood interrupted. Brannan was in position, he said, there was no vacancy
between Reynold's division and his own. "Then there is no order," retorted Starling.
There the matter should have ended. " And with anyone but Tom Wood, it most
assuredly would have. Rosecrans had upbraided Wood twice for failing to obey orders
promptly. ...{including] the dressing down just 90 minutes earlier in front of Wood's
entire staff. The barbs of of Rosecrans invective pained the Kentuckian. Anger clouded
his reason. No, he told Starling, the order was imperative, he would move at once."
Less than 30 minutes after Wood moved his division, Confederate Lt. Gen. James
Longstreet's men poured through the resulting gap and cut Rosecrans'a army in two.
Rosecrans was eventually relieved from command of the Army of the Cumberland
following this Union defeat, while Wood retained his division. Cozzens finds fault with
Wood "for letting petty bitterness get the better of him" and Rosecrans for "not checking
the order to make sure it reflected his intent. Rosey was tired and it showed." Wood
redeemed himself during the successful assault on Missionary Ridge and at the Battle
of Lovejoy's Station, where despite a badly shattered leg, he stayed on the field
encouraging his men. Scarce Autographed CDV by Joslyn and Smith

"Robert Byington Mitchell (April 4, 1823 – January 26, 1882) was a brigadier general in
the Union Army during the American Civil War and the Governor of the New Mexico
Territory from 1866 to 1869. After the start of the Civil War, Mitchell was commissioned
as the colonel of the 2nd Kansas Volunteer Infantry. He was badly wounded at the
Battle of Wilson's Creek on August 10, 1861. He was shot from his horse while leading
his regiment. After recovery, U. S. President Abraham Lincoln appointed him as a
brigadier general to rank from April 8, 1862, and he was given command of a mixed
brigade at Fort Riley. He commanded the 9th division in Charles C. Gilbert's III Corps at
Perryville, Kentucky. He was then sent to Nashville, Tennessee, where he remained for
several months. During the Chickamauga campaign, Mitchell served as George H.
Thomas's Chief of Cavalry for the Army of the Cumberland. Just before the Third Battle
of Chattanooga, he was ordered to Washington, D.C., for court-martial duty. According
to some sources, this was due to severe wounds which incapacitated him from field
duty but this is contradicted in the Official Records by Mitchell's own correspondence.
Whether incapacitated or not, he would not see active campaigning again, and for the
remainder of the Civil War, he commanded the District of Nebraska, then the District of
North Kansas, and finally the District of Kansas." Scarce Autographed CDV by
Anthony/Brady.

"John Milton Brannan (July 1, 1819 – December 16, 1892) was a career American Army
officer who served in the Mexican-American War and as a Union general in the
American Civil War. At the outbreak of the Civil War, Brannan was appointed a brigadier
general of volunteers and placed in command of the Department of Key West. In
October 1862, he fought in the Battle of Saint John's Bluff where he led infantry troops in
the expedition on the St. Johns River against Confederate positions for control of
Jacksonville, Florida. Also in the same month, Brannan was placed in command of the
Department of the South after Ormsby Mitchel's death. He was brevetted a lieutenant
colonel for his service during the battle for Jacksonville, Florida. He served as
Department commander until January 1863. In 1863 he led an infantry division under
William Rosecrans in the Tullahoma Campaign where he fought at Hoover's Gap.
Brannan then fought under George Henry Thomas during the Chickamauga
Campaign in XIV Corps. At Chicakamauga, Brannan lost 38 per cent of his
command. Nevertheless, Brannan was awarded the brevet to colonel for
meritorious service. When Rosecrans was relieved by Ulysses S. Grant, Brannan was
reassigned from infantry back to artillery. He was promoted to the rank of major in the
Regular army in August 1863. From October 1863, until June 1865, Brannan was chief
of artillery of the Department of the Cumberland, where he oversaw the defenses at
Chattanooga. He was in the Battle of Missionary Ridge and in the Atlanta Campaign
where he participated in the Battle of Resaca, Battle of Dallas, and the Battle of
Kennesaw Mountain. He was also at the siege and surrender of Atlanta. He was
appointed a brevet major general in both the Regular Army and in the Volunteers."
