The card identifies the sitter as Thomas John Wood, whose dates are given as 1845 to 1906, and the photograph itself is undated. Wood was a career Army officer who fought for the Union in the Western Theater, where he commanded troops at battles including Stones River and Chickamauga. The portrait belongs to the Civil War Photograph Collection, a group of images gathered to document the men who led and served in the war. Because the caption information is unverified, the birth year in particular should be checked against other sources before it is relied on.
