Wayland Fuller Dunaway

Born in Lancaster County, Virginia, in 1841, Wayland Fuller Dunaway served in the Confederate army during the American Civil War and was later known as the Rev. Wayland Fuller Dunaway. Library of Congress records identify him as the author of Reminiscences of a Rebel, published in New York in 1913.

That book is a personal narrative of the Civil War, drawn from his own experiences and memories. Because it comes from someone who lived through the conflict, it has continued to interest readers looking for firsthand accounts of the era.

Reliable sources found during this search confirm the memoir and his life dates, but they provide only limited biographical detail beyond his Virginia roots, military service, and authorship. Even so, his surviving work preserves a direct, deeply personal voice from a defining period in American history.
