The Civil War Battles of Chickamauga and Chattanooga
by Jesse Littleton Rogers
About the author
Born in 1907, Jesse Littleton Rogers is chiefly known for The Civil War Battles of Chickamauga and Chattanooga, a historical study first published in 1942. The book centers on two pivotal Civil War campaigns and reflects a strong interest in military history and the strategic importance of the Chattanooga region.
Reliable biographical details about his life are scarce in the sources available here. A memorial record lists him as Jesse Littleton Rogers (1907–1985), and his published work remains the clearest trace of his career.
Today, Rogers is best remembered through that book's continued availability in archives, library catalogs, and Project Gutenberg, where new readers can still encounter his account of those major Civil War battles.
