Key information missing edit

The article fails to mention that he ended his Army career by being dismissed, and of course doesn't say what it was he did to deserve it (which I came here in the hopes of finding out, but no luck here either). It doesn't adequately explain what exactly happened at Little Rock (if he merely relinquished the post to a superior force, why was he presented with a sword by the ladies of Little Rock? see the page on Little Rock Arsenal at FortWiki; which I was also hoping to find out here).

The article by the way is incomplete about his brevets: in addition to the one after the war, he was issued four of them during the war; and the characterization of brevets is a bit odd, see Ganoe passim. 24.136.6.157 (talk) 10:38, 8 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
