Harry Gilmor (1838-1883)
Harry Gilmor served in the Confederate cavalry. He was captured first in September 1862 and then exchanged as a prisoner of war in February 1863. He was captured again in February 1865 and remained captive for the duration of the war. During that time he compiled a series of historical sketches about his career which were later developed into Four Years in the Saddle. He was Baltimore's police commissioner from 1874-79.
