CXCEPT for the hubbub of new
Z army being trained to discipline
and battle SkillS, all was quiet along the
Potomac In Missouri, the war would
not wait. The Union cause, in fact, was
riding a modest crest Since May, the
secessionist troops had been on the run
all the way from st. Louis to Spring
field, down in the southwest corner of
the State. Main reasons for the Federal
success were a red-headed, red-whis-
kered bantam of a Connecticut Yankee,
Nathaniel Lyon, and dyed-in-wOol
anti-slavery politician, Francis Preston
Blair, jr.
Blair was member of the cele-
brated Maryland family. His father had
been a close advisor to President Andy
Jackson. His brother. Montgomery, was
President Lincoln's Postmaster Gen.
eral. Francis Blair was the admins
tration's strong right arm in Missouri.
Nathaniel Lyon, when the war
started, was a captain of u. S. regular
infantry: A veteran of Indian wars and
the Mexican War, he was, at 43, as de-
vout Unionist as Blair Between them
and with the aid of loyal militia in the
area, they hoodwinked the secession
lists out of power in St Louis in May.
In successive weeks, Lyon chased
Gov. Claiborne Jackson's troops out Of
Jefferson City and Boonville along the
Missouri River, forcing the COnfeder-
ates to retire to the vicinity of Spring
field. Lyon had done all this without
much strength. In July, part of his little
army. under Col. Franz Sigel. refugee
officer from the Prussian Revolution
of 1848, had been driven back at Car
thage, Mo- While Lyon paused at Spring
field, hoping for achievements from
st. Louis, the Confederate army of
nearly 1900 started its own offensive.
Gen. Sterling Pap" Price, a Mis-
sourian who came from Virginia, and
Brig. Gen. Ben McCulloch, redOubt-
able Texas Ranger, had combined for
push on st. Louis. AS August 10 ap-
preached, Gen. Lyon could see he
would get no reinforcements. He de-
cided on an offensive anyway. In the
early morning of the 10th, he led his
force of less than 6,OOO toward the
Rebel encampment around Wilson's
Creek.
