Abstract
Typescript autobiography of Dr. Todd Gilliam probably transcribed in association with his son Robert Lee Gilliam whose name
also appears on the volume cover. 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.
