MacDougall enlisted at Auburn, New York, on September 16, 1861, at age 24, and was commissioned captain of Company A, 75th New York Infantry on October 3, 1861. Discharged for promotion on August 15, 1862, he was commissioned lieutenant colonel of the 111th New York Infantry the following day and rose to colonel on January 3, 1863. He was brevetted brigadier general on February 25, 1865, for gallant and meritorious service and mustered out on June 4, 1865, at Alexandria, Virginia.
 
A hard-fighting combat officer, MacDougall led the 111th New York through some of the heaviest fighting of the war, including the defense of the Union center at Gettysburg on July 2–3, 1863, where he was severely wounded during the repulse of Pickett’s Charge. By war’s end he had been wounded four times. He later commanded the 3rd Brigade, 1st Division, II Corps and was highly regarded by Maj. Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock.
 
Born in Kintyre, Scotland, on September 14, 1839, and raised in Auburn, New York, MacDougall returned to civilian life after the war and served as a U.S. Congressman and prominent political figure in New York. He was a member of GAR Post #45 (Seward-Crocker) in Auburn and died in Paris, France, on May 24, 1914.
