Marmaduke - Walker Duel
As Union forces advanced to capture Little Rock during the Civil War, the last duel in Arkansas was fought near this spot in an open grove of heavy timber between Generals John Sappington Marmaduke and Lucius Marshall Walker at 6:00 a.m., Sunday, September 6, 1863. Walker challenged Marmaduke to the duel after the Battle of Reed's Bridge on August 27, 1863, because of Marmaduke's critical remarks about Walker's courage and Marmaduke's refusal to serve any longer under Walker after that battle. They met at the LeFevre home, formerly located approximately 200 yards east of here. Walker was mortally wounded and died the next day at the Cates home in Little Rock. Marmaduke was put under arrest, which was suspended. He then led Confederate forces at the last battle of the Little Rock campaign at Fourche Bayou, before Little Rock was captured by Union forces on September 10, 1863. - North Little Rock History Commission.

First off, let me just say, if you didn't make it to the October meeting, you missed a wonderful presentation by Tom Dillard.  We had a very good turn out for the meeting with about 45 people present.

 I have finally finished up the 1862 Arkansas Gazette Chronicles on my website.   You can read them at 1862  I love reading all of the smaller things that are sometimes overlooked, like the formation of Oakland Cemetery in Little Rock for the burial of Civil War Soldiers.
