If "hero" is defined by fighting secession, then the Courant is ignorant of, or ignores the Hartford Convention. From 15 December 1814 to 4 January 1815, Madison's War of 1812 nearly caused New England to secede.
Remember, Madison authored the Constitution that these men were debating secession in the face of. Yet 50 years later their children, who benefited greatly from the union socially, politically and financially, decided it was inviolable.
Like today, they could act, but don't you act against them.
It is strange that the Hartford Courant should introduce the public to Nathanial Lyon of Eastford, when he died on 10 August 1861. Obviously, it's a little late for an anniversary article.
Also strange is when the Courant states
Following that war, he was posted to California and led a bloody, punitive expedition against American Indians in the region of Clear Lake. An attack on native villages became a massacre, killing 200 and 400, mostly women and children. (emphasis added)

Local Hero: Eastford Man First Union General To Die In Civil War
"Local hero" ? I think not.
"Local hero" ? I think not.

"Local hero" ? I think not.
Immediately, be began formulating plans to put down the growing encampment of the state militia, sympathetic to the Southern cause, which had formed in St. Louis. After personally scouting the camp, while riding in a carriage disguised as a woman, Lyon led a force of Army regulars, volunteers and federalized Union Guards and compelled its surrender. (emphasis added)
It would seem that Nathanial Lyon was just another government power grabber, intent on protecting his position in society and government by his interpretation of the Constitution under force of arms.
Say, Hartford Courant, where is Silas Deane in all of this historical knowledge ? Or should we ignore him thanks to Haym Solomon and the Virginia and Massachusetts cabal who had him bumped off for Solomon's Rothschild handlers so that they could provide the bulk of loans and not Silas Deane ? Indeed, in the last six years the only blip I could find in the Courant was a paragraph here: http://www.courant.com/community/connecticut-closeup/hc-townname-info-wethersfield,0,6602385.story
Indeed, Wikipedia now spins history by allowing a lie to continue that the Rothschilds funded only one side of wars, and funded only the Hessians for the British. That's a strange argument when even the New York Times detailed the family going berserk trying to stop the publication of yet another edition of the truth. That truth was their financing of both sides of Waterloo, as they financed both sides of the Revolution, as they financed both sides of the Civil War that Nathanial Lyon wasted his life fighting.
