Harry Ward Gilmor (January 24, 1838 – March 4, 1883)[1] served as the Baltimore City Police Commissioner, head of the Baltimore City Police Department in the 1870s, and a Confederate cavalry officer during the American Civil War. Gilmor's daring raids, including Gilmor's Raid through northern and central Maryland in July 1864 during the third major Confederate invasion of the North gained his partisans fame as "Gilmor's Raiders".
