Image: The battle of Boonville, or the great Missouri Lyon Huntf
Description: Political cartoon with a jubilant Northern portrayal of the rout of Missouri secessionist governor Claiborne F. Jackson and Gen. Sterling Price at Boonville 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.")
