Benjamin McCulloch (November 11, 1811-March 7, 1862) was a soldier in the Texas Revolution, Texas Ranger, U.S. marshal, and brigadier general in the army of the Confederate States during the American Civil War.McCulloch was appointed U.S. marshal for the Eastern District of Texas in 1852, serving throughout the Pierce and Buchanan administrations. However, feeling his lack of formal military education, he actually spent much of his term of office studying military science in libraries in Washington, D.C. In 1858, as one of the peace commissioners sent to negotiate with Brigham Young in Utah (the other being former Gov. Lazarus W. Powell of Kentucky), he helped to prevent open warfare between the Mormons and the federal government, which had sent troops under the command of Gen. Johnston. (Taken from Wikipedia)
