I agree with your assessment of Marmaduke. Rightly or wrongly, if you read enough about historical figures you get a feel for them, form an assessment of their personality. The fact that during the middle of a campaign he chose to fight a duel with General Walker over a disagreement says much about him.
Thomas Churchill is a division commander that I've always been interested in, as well as his brigadiers. He didnt have an illustrious career. He had to surrender Arkansas Post to McClernand, he led the Confederate right at Mansfield wee they were outflanked, & had his brigades fed piecemeal across the muddy cornfield at Jenkins Ferry. Taylor said he was an unlucky general, or something like that. Not bad, just unlucky.
Is there a book were I can find information about Churchill & his division? Is their anything about the Arkansas Post campaign? Thanks.
