GENERAL
NATHANIAL LYON FIRST UNION GENERAL TO BE KILLED IN THE CIVIL WAR AT
WILSON'S CREEK IN MISSOURI  Nathaniel
Lyon (July 14, 1818 - August 10, 1861) was the first Union general
to be killed in the American Civil War. The two armies met at dawn a
few miles south of Springfield on the morning of August 10 in the
Battle of Wilson's Creek (also known as Oak Hills). Lyon, who had
already been wounded twice in the fighting was shot in the head, leg,
and chest and killed while dramatically rallying his badly outnumbered
men. Although the Union Army was defeated at Wilson's Creek, Lyon's
quick action neutralized the effectiveness of pro-Southern forces in
Missouri, allowing Union forces to secure the state. The copy of the
note states that was hair from the mane of the horse Lyon rode. "THIS
IS THE HAIR OF THE MANE OF THE HORSE OF GEN. LYON WHO FELL AT THE
BATTLE OF OAK HILLS."
 The
long strand of hair in this display came from the small lock shown
with the original note below and originated from the mane of the horse
of General Nathanial Lyon.

in an archival Mylar pouch. Unframed/shrink wrapped............................................$125.00/each
