TnE DEArm oF GENERAL LYON
The death of General Lyon occurred near
the middle of the battle. SO many SC.
counts of this occurrence have been given.
that am nol fully satisfied which Is the
correct enc. kaow al least bali dozen
individuals ia whose arms General Lyon
expired. and hiuk there is as many more
who claimed that sad honor There Is a
similar mystery concerning his Last words,
a dozen versions having been given by
persons who claimed 10 have heard them.
Il Is my belief that Gen. Lyon was killed
while accommodating the eaemy's liue and
directing the advance OF a regiment Of IN.
laniry. believe he was on foot nj the
instant, and was caught, as he fell, IN the
arms Of Lehman" his orderly. Ills last
utteraHee was, doubtless, the order for the
infantry TO advance, and was given mo-
ment before he received the fatal bullet
From the nature Of the wound, his dealh,
il not instantaneous, WAS very speedy. A
large musket.ball entered has letl side. IN
the region OF the heart, passing nearly
through TO the right A reported wound
IN the breast was made with bayouet in
the hands Of rebel soldier, several hours
afterwards. The body was brought 10
Springfield on the night after the battle.
Ii was my fortune TO be acquainted with
General Lyon During the, progress Of
the war met no one who impressed me
more than he, in his devotion 10 the in
terests Of the country. II he possessed
ambition Tor personal glory, ! was unable
to discover it. lie declared that reputa-
tion was a bubble, which no good soldier
should follow. Wealth was shadow
which no man in the countrys service
should heed His pay as officer was sulIi-
cient Tor all his wants, and he desired
nothing more. He gave to the nation, as
the friend he loved the dearest, fortune
which he had inherited. Ii lis death
could aid in the success of The cause for
which he was fighting, he stood ready TO
die. The gleom that spread throughout
the North when the news Of his loss was
received, showed n just appreciation OF
his character Camp Fire and Cotton
Field.
