No time to spend in the library, so here I am trying to research my officers online. Not easy. My previous post about Barber gave me more information on him than anything else I turned up. Not so lucky with Hagood. I decided to pursue locating more information on Hagood's reference to Fort Harrison, since biographical info on him was virtually non-existent. Found a couple of Web sites with some basic info: www.usa-civil-war.com and aotw.org/officers. Thought it was interesting that the plaque at this fort gives both the Confederate name (Fort Harrison) and the Federal name (Fort Burnham, after Brigadier General Hiram Burnham of Maine.
Looks like the Official Records source has the most information, so I plan to go with that.
