He was a major in the 8th Louisiana Heavy Artillery Battalion during the Siege of Vicksburg. He then led the 9th Louisiana Cavalry Regiment, a mounted infantry unit known as Ogden's Cavalry. After the war he became a leading White Leaguer and was involved in the Battle of Liberty Place.

He became known as General Fred Ogden and the Louisiana State Museum obtained a dress sword he was presented. It also obtained a few of his papers.
