| | Authen. 1863 Civil War Ribbon Gen. Nathaniel Lyon - First Union General ... |
 | | 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. |
