English: Cased daguerreotype of a young man shown from the waist up, wearing a suit and a broad-brimmed hat.
One reference, the History of Lincoln County, Missouri (1969) identifies Dyer as having served with Capt. Thomas Carter’s Co. (2nd Mo., Confederate) and being captured at the battle of Lexington. But this portrait appears to be that of a young David Patterson Dyer (1838-1924), lieutenant colonel and colonel of the 49th Missouri Infantry (Union). Title: David Patterson Dyer, Colonel, 49th Missouri Infantry (Union).
