McCoulloch was one of the Confederate co-commanders at Wilson's Creek in 1861.....he did not get along well with Sterling Price so after the battle the Confederate government installed Earl Van Dorn over both of them. McCoulloch commanded the right-wing of the Southern army at the Battle of Pea Ridge, where he was killed.
I don't think McCoulloch was ever promoted to Major General, but he led division-sized forces and probably would have gotten the official promotion if he had lived longer.
I would recommend 4/1/1 and "Indian_Fighter" (see pre-war experiences in wikipedia entry)
