After the war, he was an important judge, including serving on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. REFERENCES: DORNBUSCH Wi 92; COULTER 303 “Letters and parts of the author’s diary, with letters of Mrs. Lyon from the South, make up the body of this narrative. There is no clear continuity of Colonel Lyon’s travels, but the areas of his chief activities are easily inferred…served first in Missouri in 1861, and marched out of St. Louis to Pilot Knob and Greenville in the southeastern part of the state. Later movements were taken from Memphis to west Tennessee and northern Mississippi, to Fort Henry and Fort Donelson, into Kentucky, and back to Tennessee by way of Nashville…At the end of the war…he was sent to Texas by steamer down the Mississippi and across the Gulf of Mexico to Matagorda Bay…The narrative is largely about military matters, with occasional comments on the country and people. He was especially interested in the abnormalities of Texas, detesting everything there except the climate.” MULLIN/REED pg. 67.…
