Logan Wood was born a slave in Anderson County about 1843, but he was most likely taken from his place of birth well before the Civil War, when he is found in Tennessee. He remained a slave into adulthood; President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation only freed slaves in states openly hostile toward the Union. Late in the war, however, the government called for the enlistment of colored regiments, and all who answered the call were granted immediate freedom.

Logan therefore made his way to Knoxville to enlist, and on April 17, 1864 was enrolled as a private in Company F of the 1st U.S. Colored Heavy Artillery Regiment. At the time of his enlistment, Logan gave oath that he was born about 1843 in Anderson County, KY.

The 1st Artillery regiment was active against Rebel Wheeler's Cavalry in eastern Tennessee, with Battles at Anderson's Crossroads and Farmington.

For most of August 1864 and from late winter until mid-spring 1865 Logan saw duty in northern Alabama and East Tennessee. He also took part in Stoneman's Campaign into southwestern  Virginia. He was discharged from the service at Greenville, Tennessee on March 31, 1866.
