Cadwallader L. Polk

According to John C. Wright's not very reliable memoir, Lt. Col. Cadwallader L. Polk (Hawthorn's Arkansas Regt.) survived to a ripe old age despite being severely wounded at Prairie Grove. According to Brig. Gen. Francis A. Shoup's after action report published in the SOR, Polk died of that wound. Can anyone tip the balance one way or the other? Thanks!
