The Rise and Fall of General Nathaniel Lyon in the Missouri State Capitol
-
Description
-
Brief article on the military career and legacy of Union General Nathaniel Lyon. Lyon was hailed as a Union hero after his death at the Battle of Wilson's Creek in 1861, and a painting of him by George Caleb Bingham was commissioned for the Missouri State Capitol.
