LYON, NATHANIEL
(1818 - 1861) Union brigadier general who met with Confederate representatives and declared "This means war", he later put down the pro-Confederate Missouri militia and faced Ben McCulloch at Wilson's Creek where he was killed in action. Pre-war signature "N. Lyon Capt. 2d Infy. Com'g Comp'y B", cut from a document. Very good to fine.
