Dr. Gilliam, an Ohio native, mentions his Civil War service in the WV 2nd. Cavalry in great detail including the exact dates for his experiences in that regiment. He mentions (p. 222) that this portion of his memoir is based on a pocket diary kept during the war. The rest of the manuscript contains few definite dates but does mention his careers subsequent to that in the WV 2nd. Cavalry and as an exchanged prisoner of war. Prominent among these are his service in the Ohio Militia during the Morgan raid late in the Civil War. Also mentioned are his marriage, family, and medical career and reunions of Civil War veterans.West Virginia and Regional History Center / West Virginia University / 1549 University Avenue / P.O.
