Nathaniel Lyon ALS from Fort Lookout, 1856

Item Details

Description

Nathaniel Lyon ALS from Fort Lookout, 1856

A letter from future Union General Nathaniel Lyon, regarding ordnance reports. 1p, measuring 7.5" x 9.5", Fort Lookout, dated October 3, 1856. Signed "N. Lyon" and addressed to Colonel H. K. Craig, Chief of Ordnance for the U.S. Army. Reading in full: "Herewith enclosed I respectfully transmit the Quarterly Return of Ordnance and Ordnance Stores pertaining to Company 'B' 2nd Infy for the Third Quarter of 1856." The letter has flattened mail folds and faint ink spotting. Boldly signed, and very fine overall.

Accompanied by two engravings of Lyon: the first, measuring 6" x 9.5", engraved by A. H. Ritchie, and the second, measuring 7.75" x 10.75", engraved by Alonzo Chappel. The two engravings have light wear, toning, and soiling.

Both are very good.

Nathaniel Lyon (1818-1861) was the first Union general killed during the Civil War, losing his life at the Battle of Wilson's Creek on August 10, 1861. He had previously fought in the Second Seminole War and Mexican-American War, and Fort Lookout was established by Lyon in 1856 while serving with the 2nd U.S. Infantry. The fort was ultimately abandoned one year later, in 1857. Lyon was in command of the Union arsenal in St. Louis, Missouri just prior to the Civil War, and helped foil Jeff Davis's plans with Governor Claiborne to secede from the Union. When the war began, he was promoted to brigadier-general and given command of troops in Missouri. At the Battle of Wilson's Creek, Lyon's forces were severely outnumbered and he was wounded twice before finally being killed while rallying his troops.

This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
