Hagood re his service as one of the youngest colonels in the Army of the Confederate States of America in Maryland, Tennessee, Virginia, and South Carolina.

He was born in Barnwell, S.C., the son of Dr. James O'Hear Hagood and Indiana M. Allen Hagood. In 1862 he and a group of Citadel cadets formed themselves into a company of cavalry called the Cadet Rangers, which afterwards became Troop F, 6th South Carolina Cavalry. Hagood later transferred into the 1st South Carolina Regiment of Volunteer Infantry. Hagood was mortally injured in a railroad accident shortly after the war.And an additional entry from the July 1, 1884 edition of the Watchman and Southron of Sumter,
