Biographical History
Nathaniel Lyon (1818-1861), soldier and author, was born in Ashford, Conn.

Lyon was also a well-known political commentator. He is best known for his leadership at the 1861 battle of Wilson's Creek, Mo., as a result of which was that Missouri remained in the Union during the Civil War.
