General Wood's explanation of his own actions at the Battle of Shiloh, sent to Confederate President Jefferson Davis. The report appears to be in response to negative testimony about Wood's conduct given by Judge Walters. Wood details all of his own actions during the battle, and denies the charges Walters has made. Wood describes the chaos that surrounded the entire battle, and the actions of himself and his regiment, mostly around Shiloh Church. Written at "Head Quarters 3d Brigade." The pages are joined by a ribbon.
