Chandler B. Gillam, a farmer from Byron, New York, enlisted immediately when President Lincoln called for troops to put down the Confederate rebellion. W. L. Hicks, a clerk from Canandaigua, New York, also signed up eagerly. They served in the 28th New York Volunteers till the regiment mustered out in June 1863. After the war they returned to their former occupations. Gillam's letters and Hicks' diary were edited by Ellen Clodfelter Collier, a former Specialist in U.S. Foreign Policy at the Congressional Research Service of the Library of Congress. She is a graduate of Ohio State, American University, and the National War College.
