John Lyons was a carpenter, bridge builder, cotton-plantation owner, and steamship captain of Louisiana, United States. Lyons is best known today as the master of Peter of the scourged back, who escaped to Union lines in 1863, and whose whip-scarred body ultimately became a representative of the physical violence inherent to the American slavery system.
