Possible WP:HOAX. No mention found in sources. Of the cited sources: Matthew Lyons is not mentioned in The Civil War by Bruce Catton, The Raven: A Biography of Sam Houston, nor in online searchable books of Red-Blooded Heroes, or Turmoil in New Mexico]. Although he was supposedly a Captain who died at the Battle of Glorieta Pass, Lyons is not found in the comprehensive list of casualties in this book. I wonder who that is in the photograph? — Cactus Writer |   needles  01:36, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
