Battle of Booneville,Great Missouri Lyon Hunt,1861,Nathaniel Lyon,Cartoon

Title: The battle of Booneville, or the great Missouri 'Lyon' Hunt
Creator(s): Currier & Ives.,
Date Created/Published: [United States : s.n., 1861]
Summary: A jubilant Northern portrayal of the rout of Missouri secessionist governor Claiborne F. Jackson and Gen. Sterling Price at Booneville on June 17, 1861. (See 'Strayed,' no. 1861-31.) Here a lion with the head of Union commander Nathaniel Lyon chases Jackson (center) and Price toward the right. Jackson, wearing a woman's skirt and bonnet, cries to Price, 'Let out! General, let out! he's getting close to us.' 'Oh Govner Jackson I'm trying all I can to hold in,' responds Price, as he clutches his stomach and rump. (The scatological implication is more blatantly developed in 'Strayed.')
