Autor

George L. Wood remains a figure shrouded in relative historical obscurity, with limited information available regarding his personal biography and literary career. What is known, however, is firmly linked to his work on military history, most notably through his book 'The Seventh Regiment: A Record.' This work focuses on the rich history of the Seventh Regiment of the National Guard State of New York, also known as the 'Silk Stocking' regiment due to its members hailing from wealthy and socially prominent backgrounds. Through meticulous documentation and narrative, Wood's book provides a detailed account of this military unit's contributions and transformations over time, encompassing various conflicts and the evolving nature of military service. Wood's literary style in this context is characterized by a scholarly approach to historical events, underscored by a clear dedication to preserving factual accuracy and a profound respect for the regiment's storied legacy. While 'The Seventh Regiment: A Record' stands as a testament to his historical interest, the absence of additional widely recognized publications or a well-documented biography leaves George L. Wood an enigmatic figure in the annals of historical and military literature.
