Lewis Lindsay Dyche (March 20, 1857-January 20, 1915) was a notable naturalist and also the creator of the Panorama of North American Plants and Animals, which was featured in the Kansas Pavilion at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. His taxidermy work is housed at The University of Kansas' Natural History Museum in Lawrence, KS. Also at KU is the Horse left standing at the Battle of Little Big Horn, Comanche, which the Army asked Dyche to stuff for their display.

Dyche was born in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia.[1]
