Harold Gilliam

Harold Gilliam (1918 – December 14, 2016) was a San Francisco–based writer, newspaperman and environmentalist, a columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle and Examiner newspapers. The Harold Gilliam Award for Excellence in Environmental Reporting, given by The Bay Institute, is named in his honor.

Early life and education

Gilliam was born in Los Angeles and earned a bachelor's degree in political science from UCLA and a master's in economics from UC Berkeley; he later studied under Wallace Stegner at the Stanford Writing Program. He served in the 11th Armored Division in Europe in World War II.[1][2]

Career

Gilliam began his career in journalism as a copy boy at the Chronicle, where he was soon made a reporter. In 1954 he became a freelancer, then in 1960 began an environmental column at the Examiner; the following year he returned to the Chronicle, where he continued his column, called "This Land", until retiring in 1995.[1][2][3]

San Francisco Bay, his first book, was on The New York Times bestseller list for 19 weeks.[1] It led to his being invited to be a founder member of Save the Bay.[4]

Gilliam was one of the first environmentalist journalists, and helped mobilize public opinion to save many features of the San Francisco Bay Area.[2][3][5] In the 1960s, through an article and personal contacts, he helped achieve a Marin County ordinance forestalling the bulldozing of archaeological sites.[6] His article "The Destruction of Mono Lake Is on Schedule", which appeared in the Examiner in March 1979, was one of the first public accounts of the then ongoing destruction of Mono Lake; in 1993 he was the first recipient of the Defender of the Trust award from the Mono Lake Committee.[7] The Bay Institute named its Harold Gilliam Award in his honor.[8] The group also gave him its Bay Education Award in 1995.[9]

Personal life

Gilliam was married to Ann, with whom he co-wrote a book on Carmel, California; she died in 2001. They had two sons. Gilliam died in San Francisco in 2016 at the age of 98.[1]
