 Battle of Wilson's Creek
Lyon swung into the saddle of his gray stallion and followed with the bulk of the army.
As soon as Lyon saw that he was detected, he deployed his troops, threw out skirmishers and advanced at the double up the northern slope of Bloody Hill, toward a plateau where a 600-man Confederate detachment waited.
Lyon's men, hearing the firing to the south die away, waited with increasing anxiety for Sigel's men to sweep up the south slope of Bloody Hill and take the Confederates from the rear.

Nathaniel Lyon was born on a farm in Eastport, Connecticut in 1818.
Lyon then marched forward to within six miles of the main Confederate position, and lay there 24 hours when, not seeming it wise to attack so far from his base and with incomplete information concerning enemy strength, he retired unmolested to Springfield.
Lyon was further favored in his plan of surprise by the fact that the Confederates had withdrawn their pickets in anticipation of moving themselves, as we have seen, and when the movement was abandoned, "somebody goofed" and they had not been set out again.

He described Lyon as one of the “best thinkers in the elk world you’ll find.” Indeed, Lyon’s thought and passion for research into elk and elk habitat have done much to shape the way both are now managed.
For Lyon, the highlight of the study—and his career—was the creation of a road density model that showed how habitat effectiveness for elk decreases as more miles of road are open to traffic.
Lyon has also researched the effects of fire on big game populations and habitat and helped create a vocabulary of elk management terms to help forest biologists and wildlife biologists “understand what each other is talking about,” he says.

He fought at General Nathaniel Lyon's side and he kept this ribbon in his old Civil War things that have been handed down in my family to me. This is a very nice original piece for any Civil War collector.
After some confusion in retrieving Lyon’s body from the field of battle, he was taken to St. Louis and then to Connecticut for burial.
When doubt and fear o’er hung the land, and treason filled the air, Then Lyon chose his country’s part, for her his sword did bear; To her he gave his heart so brave, and all that he possessed, And lastly, gave the life he loved on a prairie of the West.

 CBC - Manitoba Votes 2003
Doer and his colleagues have governed cautiously, realizing perhaps that while Manitobans reject right wing parties, they are essentially small "c" conservatives, more intent on good government than some ideological champion.
They illustrated this in 1981 when they kicked out Sterling Lyon's Conservative government after only one term because it was seen as too ideological, dogmatic and insensitive.
Manitoban's resistance to Stuart Murray's Conservatives could have been caused by its being too close to the reckless Alliance party and only distant cousins to the "Progressives" which were born in Manitoba and the mainstays of Bracken and Roblin.
