He participated in the Missouri Raid with Sterling Price.

And before "The Raid" Fagan led a mounted division at Jenkin's Ferry.

 

[Pollaco]

Fagan temporarily commanded Sterling Price's division from July 23rd to Aug. 17, 1863. This was during the Little Rock Campaign. I can't see where Price was wounded anywhere around this time, where was he?

You may have noticed that his first wife's maiden name was Beall. She was the sister of C. S. Gen. William Beall.
