James Lyons Papers, . 1821-1882

http://www2.lib.unc.edu/mss/inv/l/Lyons,James.html

James Lyons (1801-1882) of Richmond, Va., was a lawyer and Confederate congressman. The collection is chiefly letters, 1821, from Lyons to Henrietta Watkins, later his wife, discussing their relationship, his reading, mutual friends, and other matters. Also included are photocopies of two letters from Jefferson Davis to Lyons: one, 13 August 1876, justifying the order to remove General J. C. Johnson from the command of the Confederate forces at Atlanta, and the other, 15 May 1879, regarding his determination not to ask the United States government for financial help.
