The Battle of Lyman's Wagon Train was an incident in 1874, near Canadian, Texas. A 343 acres (139 ha) area at the site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001 for its information potential as an archeological site.^[1] As an archeological resource, the National Register does not disclose the location of the site.^[2]

The engagement was part of the Red River War.^[3]

From September 9 to September 14, Wyllys Lyman and his troops fought off Comanche and Kiowa warriors. It is also known as the Battle of the Upper Washita.^[4]

Tehan, a white member of the Kiowa who was imprisoned by the army, escaped in the event and returned to his Kiowa home.

A number of men received U.S. medals of honor for their performance.^[5]

A historical marker titled "Wagon Train Battle" in Hemphill County, Texas commemorates the event.
