Caption: General Marmaduke, General Walker & Colonel Dobbins (L-R)
Additional Description: After the Battle of Reed's Bridge on August 26, 1863, General Marmaduke accused Walker of imperiling Marmaduke's men by being absent from the field in the face of the enemy. Walker felt that he had been unjustly accused of cowardice and challenged Marmaduke to a formal duel. On September 6, Walker and Marmaduke squared off on the north bank of the Arkansas River near Little Rock. Both fired and missed. Marmaduke then recocked and fired a second time, mortally wounding Walker in the right side, just above the beltline. Lucius M. Walker died at 5 p.m. the next day.
