==In popular culture== *[[Steve Earle]] wrote a song about McCulloch on his album [[Train a Comin']]. "Ben McCulloch" is sung from the perspective of a foot soldier in McCulloch's infantry, marched from Texas to fight in Missouri and growing to hate both McCulloch and the Civil War. Its chorus and refrain is "Goddamn you, Ben McCulloch / I hate you more than any other man alive // And when you die, you'll be a foot soldier just like me / in the Devil's infantry." *He is the main antagonist in [[Harry Turtledove]]'s short story "[[Robert E. Lee|Lee]] at the [[Alamo]]" (2011). [http://www.tor.com/2011/09/07/lee-at-the-alamo/] *He is also a character in [[Janice Woods Windle]]'s [[True Women]] which was later made into a TV movie. *There is a mention of McCulloch's Rangers in [[Cormac McCarthy]]'s ''[[Blood Meridian]]'' on page 95, where the men from the Glanton gang are said to be from McCulloch's Rangers: "(...) Tate from [[Kentucky]] who had fought with McCulloch's Rangers as had Tobin and others among them (...)".
