234:, what an excellent subject for an article! Review follows: article moved to mainspace 1 November; article exceeds minimum length and is well written (and will almost certainly pass its upcoming GAN); citations are inline throughout and to reliable (mainly offline) sources; I didn't find any issue with overly close paraphrasing from the two online sources; hooks are interesting and mentioned in the article, ALT0 is cited offline but also backed up by the Encyclopedia of Arkansas article which I can access, ALT1 is confirmed by the EoA; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks fine to me. One non-DYK query, could you clarify what unit Marmaduke was commanding at Helena? I couldn't work it out from the article - 304: 227: 93: 201: 426: 88: 259:
the main hook seems to me as awkward in structure - it make it sound like the duel was later dropped. How about a slight re-arrangement, like this?

Yes, I think I must have added the missing “were” into alt0 in my head. Striking it -

The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below.
368: 355: 344: 260: 250: 235: 381:: look him in the eye, aim no higher / summon all the courage you require, then 303: 226: 35:
Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as

I think the awkward in the original hook was because it should have been

I like ALT3, better than what I wrote - so I've struck ALT2.
