Wounded at Shiloh, hospitalized and later sent home to recover. Upon his recuperation he returned to his unit. There is a letter from the post surgeon at the hospital at Vaiden, Mississippi, requesting that W. A. be transerferred to that facility as a steward. The letter states he was no longer combat qualified 'due to a gunshot wound received at the Battle of Shiloh.' The letter goes on to say, 'Please have this request brought to the attention of Lt Gen'l Pemberton.' It is signed 'T. J. Taliaferro, Post Surgeon.' While serving in the hospital W.A. became interested in medicine and after the war attended Dartmouth College and became a medical doctor. He served in the Confederate States Army from May 1861 (when the unit was still called the 15th Reg't, Mississippi Volunteers) until August 1864.

James Richard Wood - Private
Buried at Shiloh Baptist Church Cemetery, SE of Duck Hill, Mississippi. My great great grandfather: my father's mother's, mother's father. My great uncle, Grover 'Mike' Wood, remembered the old man dying at his home when Mike was just a boy. He had gone to live with his daughter's family after surviving his third wife. He remembered the wagon trip with the body to the cemtery and the burial in December. Later, as a adult, and a proud veteran of the Burma Hump, Mike made sure his grandfather got a bronze grave marker with his service record and on more than one occasion before his own death took me out to the cemetery to make sure I 'got it', though he never said that. I got it, Mike! And, thanks.
