Russell a native of St. Louis enlisted under Lincoln's first call for troops and served in a Missouri regiment through the summer of 1864. Following an outline of sectional struggle from 1820 and early events of the war given in the first half of the longer letter Russell describes the events of the Wilson's Creek Campaign and then his own eyewitness to history: "The Kansas boys like ourselves were resting when all at once the rebels crept up the hill to the top of the crest opened a tremendous fire right into the Iowa boys and our regiment but we went at them anyway and a hand to hand struggle began . My Captain Cary Gratz was killed . I was wounded four times and the Kansas boys were holding their own. Capt. Lyon had been hit twice once a scratch along the forehead and a light superficial wound in the knee. I was carried down the hill and placed on the hill side opposite the line of battle the valley being merely a hollow. I had a good view of the fight as it went on. My first attention was attracted to my right as I lay there and watched Capt. Lyon trying to rally the Iowa boys who were in a panic their Colonel had been killed and although the Kansas boys had saved them Capt. Lyon was rallying them into formation to use as they were then near the front. All at once I saw him rear off that dople sic gray horse and fall to the ground. Maj. Schofield also ran to his side a messenger sent for our surgeon Dr. Comyns . Capt. Lyon was carried down the hill he was shot nearly half way up from the hollow to the battle lines. The bullet had struck him squarely in the breast and had gone through his hear and he had lost the pleasure of seeing the victory his indomitable courage had won."_The Confederates commanded by Gen. Sterling Price made another assault following the death of Lyon but Samuel Sturgis rallied the Union troops and the Federal lines held. Sturgis then left the field toward Springfield and the Confederates did not pursue him. "The campaign marked the beginning of the war in Missouri and the trans-Mississippi. Afterward the Federal army withdrew to rolla Missouri leaving the Southerners in possession of most of the southwestern region of the state" "Encyclopedia of the Confederacy"._Lyon 1818-1861 a Connecticut native graduated from West Point in 1841 served in the Mexican War and on the western frontier most of the time to the eve of Civil War in "Bleeding Kansas" becoming involved in the political issue of slavery in the territories. Appointed brigadier general in May 1861 to command the Union forces in St. Louis he also led discussions with Confederate sympathizers on Missouri's position in the union; when compromise failed he launched his first military campaign which culminated in his death at Wilson's Creek. "The entire north mourned his death and he immediately became a national hero and martyr . his brilliant work had done much to hold Missouri for the Union" DAB. <br/><br/> unknown books

1904404950Chicago: Lyon & Healy 1904. A very good if slightly shaken copy spine label worn and with some wear at corners a few short marginal tears and occasional light handling creases. Small folio 305 x 228 mm. Black-and-white portrait of Royal de Forest Hawley and 36 mounted plates of which most in color; printed tissue guards preserved. Original red cloth-backed boards printed paper label on spine. FIRST EDITION number 1399 of 2000 copies. With a fine provenance: From the collection of David W. Young who bought the "Goding" Amati that is described herein. Young inscribes the front flyleaf: "This rare book purchased from R. Wurlitzer in year 1961 at time I obtained the 'Goding' Amati violin of 1662 from Lyon & Healy. - signed - David W. Young at 18508 Clyde Ave. Homewood Ill U.S.A." Another similar inscription appears on another flyleaf. The "Goding" Amati is described in the catalogue on p. 48 within the broader historical context of the famous Cremonese violin makers: "The Goding Amati is covered with a coating of magnificent varnish of a golden brown color the texture of which is soft; and the evenness of skill of its application invokes the admiration of the connoisseur at a glance. It formed a part of the famous James Goding collection to which the King Joseph Guarneri also belonged." Hawley's collection was a veritable encyclopedia of classical violin making. Lyon & Healy acquired the collection in total after his death in 1893 and published this catalogue which established their reputation as America's eminent dealer at the beginning of the Twentieth Century. The remainder of the catalogue includes images and texts about instruments by Stradivari the Healy and the Earl Guarneri del Gesu King Joseph and Jarnowick Maggini Bergonzi Rogeri Guadagnini Joseph filius Andrea Guarneri Stainer and Lupot. <br/><br/> Lyon & Healy hardcover books

Rear wrapper creased ink name and note on title page. 2014 Trade Paperback. xv 351 pp. "How have thriving elk populations of thousands dwindled to mere hundreds in just a matter of years Author Ted B. Lyon asserts the wolf is at fault. He also blames the wolf for the rampant spread of infectious diseases among livestock populations and the decimation of wild deer moose sheep and domestic animals alike. A trial lawyer with over 37 years of litigation experience Lyon proves his case in The Real Wolf: The Science Politics and Economics of Co-Existing with Wolves in Modern Times. In this detailed yet easy-to-read essay collection authors Ted B. Lyon and Will N. Graves investigate the majesty and myths surrounding wolves in the United States and offer a new true picture of the wolf in contemporary America. The Real Wolf is an in-depth study of the impact wolves as a federally protected species have had on big game and livestock populations. Each chapter in the book is meticulously researched and written by authors and scientists who have spent years studying wolves and wolf behavior. Contributing authors Rob Arnaud Dr. Arthur Bergerud Karen Budd-Falen Jess Carey Dr. Matthew A. Cronin Dr. Valerius Geist Don Peay Laura Schneberger Heather Smith-Thomas and Cat Urbigkit each describe a unique aspect of the wolf in the United States. The Real Wolf does not call for the eradication of wolves from the United States but rather advocates a new system of species management that would allow wolves game animals and farmers to live in harmony.
