Philander P Kimball
I am researching my great grandfather Philander P Kimball who was friends with David Shields.I also have a book given to my grandfather from David Shields called "Life and Letters of Alexander Hays" with David Shields personally addressing Philander.I also have heard that David asked Philander to move with him to Pittsburgh after the war.
also Philander P. Kimball served in the 16th Pennsylvania Cavalry Company E
I have a facebook page I just started to honor and educate about this Union Cavalry
