Two documents relating to Samuel L. Woodward’s request to be appointed and retired at the rank of Brigadier General. The first document notes that Woodward is a victim of an “unjust and unlawful” promotion system for lieutenants that was in effect from 1878 to 1890, and has been denied promotions at the appropriate time for thirty years. In the second document, Woodward outlines his experience in battles and engagements, as well as his role and actions in various regiments during his military career.
