Thomas J. Wood, Kentuckian, graduated fifth in his West Point class
in 1846 and joined the staff of General Zachary Taylor. The Mexican
War was just beginning and Wood fought in several battles after
which he served under General Winfield Scott in Mexico City. In
1861, Wood became a brigadier general of volunteers and began his
Civil War service with the Army of the Cumberland, with whom he
fought in every campaign and most of its major battles. Wood has
never before been the subject of a full length biography but is
well known for a notorious lapse of judgment resulting in a
Confederate breakthrough at Chickamauga that shattered the Union
right flank and threatened the survival of the Army of the
Cumberland. It is a moment in the war still argued about. Wood
learned from his mistake, became a better general from that time on
(notably at Missionary Ridge and Nashville), and redeemed himself
in the eyes of his fellow officers and his civilian superiors.
