Union General Nathaniel Lyon encircled the peaceful camp and forced the state troops to surrender. On June 16, 1861, as General Lyon's Union troops approached Jefferson City, Governor Jackson fled the state capital. Union forces installed former Missouri Chief Justice Hamilton Gamble as governor of a provisional government. Minor chipping at edges. Fine condition. <I>Ex. Henry E.
