"After the Civil War, the U.S. Government and the Army embarked on a landmark joint endeavor. For the first time in American history, the federal government itself - let by the Army - compiled a military history. The history was composed of all of the official military documents from both sides of the war, and it proved to be a massive production. It was called War of the Rebellion: A compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies, and referred to as the Official Records, or O.R. It contained official reports, letters, telegrams, strength returns, and casualty lists, covering all theaters throughout the war. The Army then got together the official military maps to supplement the O.R. This was called The Atlas to Accompany the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies. The maps had been drawn during the war by engineers, draftsmen, and sometimes even generals themselves for actual military use. Only a few maps, drawn later by cartographers, were added for historical purposes. Tacktical and strategic maps indicate troop dispositions; defense lines, redoubts, and fortifications of key sites are clearly shown. Terrain maps often contain picket positions, signal stations, and lines of march. Some are rough sketches, some cartographic masterpieces. All are informative and reveal the knowledge - or lack of knowledge - that both sides possessed about the terrain, and the strength and the position of opposing troops. The index to the maps is an invaluable aid. It refers to campaigns and battles, rivers, creeks, lakes, bays, islands, bridges, fords, ferries, landings, roads, railroads, mountains, town, churches, forts, and much more. In this reprint, the index and maps are conveniently bound in one volume. The original edition was published in separate folios, sporadically produced. Here, in brief, is a completely indispensable tool for both historian and Civil War buff, reproduced with absolute precision and fidelity. The Official Military Atlas does not only add to an understanding of the Civil War, it is vital to a complete understanding." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

M. Herbert Wood (c. 1839deceased) was an officer of the 23rd Regiment, United States Colored Infantry, during the American Civil War. This regiment, which consisted of African-American enlisted men with white officers, was part of the 4th Division of the IX Corps, organized at Camp Casey, Virginia. Wood may also have served in the 25th Ohio regiment. A newspaper account from the time alleges that Wood, a Mainer, had married an Alabama woman who owned a considerable number of enslaved people, and then "sold the negroes, pocketed the proceeds, turned abolitionist, abandoned his wife and child [and] went back to Maine" before joining the Union army.[1] Following the Civil War, Wood purportedly asked President Andrew Johnson for a position, but was denied after testifying that he would side with Congress over the President, presumably concerning Reconstruction. This letter to Wood's sister Mollie is dated July 16, 1864, after the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House and shortly before the Battle of the Crater in which the 23rd suffered significant casualties. Wood describes the Regiment's dire financial situation, apparently having gone months without pay: "I cannot send any money to you in this letter for the simple reason that I have not any myself. We have not been paid since the last day of Feb and there is not an officer in the Regt that has 5 dollars but we shall be paid I hope soon it cannot be very long and I will then send you as much as you need." He also informs Mollie of some sad intelligence about her husband: "I do not wish or would not say one single word to injure your feelings but I very much fear that what I told you when we last met at New Berne has proved true. And that you are now a deserter's wife. I have enquired of a great many officers who know him and to some who are Bro. Masons & have stated circumstances omitting name & place and all agree in saying that you will probably never hear from him again. We may all be mistaken however I hope we are." The Civil War saw quite a high desertion rate on both sides, though many men eventually returned to their posts, voluntarily or otherwise.
