General Earl Van Dorn lost the Confederate attempt to control northwestern Arkansas. He later lost the Second Battle of Corinth. He was never given command of another Confederate army. He did receive the command of a cavalry unit in 1863. That same year he was murdered by a man claiming Van Dorn was having an affair with his wife.
