His job as a commercial traveller brought him in touch<br>with many veterans and officials, from whom he gathered official figures. The statistics he collected expanded into further areas,<br>from regiments to details of formations, battles, movements, and similar data. He began to research using official records in various<br>state capitals, and continued speaking to ex-soldiers and high-standing officers, such as General Sherman, who expressed interest<br>in a comprehensive compendium and welcomed its future publication.<br>Dyer utilized the official materials available at the War Department, namely the Official Records of the War of the Rebellion.<br>After 35 years of information gathering, he moved into a single room in Des Moines to start producing a compendium worthy of print.<br>He made seven revisions, each taking around seven months, as he sifted through piles of paperwork and notes, to produce an<br>accurate account of the Union army. Working day and night, sleeping in a bed placed close to his desk, he toiled over the Compendium<br>from 1904 until 1908, producing a 4,025 page typed manuscript.
