Roane’s lack of any military experience made him an ineffective commander; at the battle of Buena Vista (February 22-23, 1847) Roane’s command performed poorly under fire.
After the war’s end, criticism of Arkansas regiment (commanded by Archibald Yell, who was succeeded by Roane after Yell’s death at Buena Vista) and its performance under fire followed Roane; accusations of incompetence leveled by Albert Pike led to an inconsequential duel between the two political rivals in July of 1847.
John Selden Roane died suddenly in April 1867 and is buried at the Oakland Cemetery, Little Rock, Arkansas.
