Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Life of General Nathaniel Lyon Shortly after the fall of General Lyon at the battle of Wilson´s Creek, the writer was requested by the relatives of the deceased to prepare an account of his life and services for publication. For this purpose journals, letters, and numerous other papers written by Gen. Lyon, were placed at his disposal. The present work, however imperfectly executed, has been in all respects a labor of love. Gen. Lyon´s purity of character, his honesty of purpose, and unfaltering devotion to the honor and welfare of his country, will render his name and memory ever precious to his countrymen. No one can become familiar with the life of Nathaniel Lyon, without feeling that in his death the Nation lost one of her noblest as well as bravest sons. Lyon began his military career by taking an active part in the most vigorous and toilsome campaign of the Seminole war. We have described the difficulties and incidents of the struggle in general terms, as best showing what he and his comrades were called to endure while hunting the savages through those pathless wilds. Gen. Lyon left a large amount of manuscripts relating to the Mexican war, upon which we have drawn freely. Numerous extracts have been made from his notes, and much use has been made of his descriptions of the battles, the people, and the country.
