Leon Hilton Gillis (November 11, 1920 – October 31, 2010) American traveler.
In 1961-62, Leon Gillis of Virginia led his family of eight on a coast-to-coast covered wagon journey, in the "Last Wagon West."
In 1963-64, the Gillis family took their wagon to Europe, traveling from France, to a Dutch visit with Freddy Heineken, to Moscow, living by dint of their wits and the generosity of strangers.
