by Mary Cochrane Rogers
Born in Derry, New Hampshire, in 1869, Mary Cochrane Rogers was an American writer whose published work centered on history, genealogy, and regional memory. Library catalogs and archival records credit her with books including Rogers' Rock, Lake George, March 13, 1758: A Battle Fought on Snow Shoes (1917) and Glimpses of an Old Social Capital (Portsmouth, New Hampshire) (1923).
Her writing shows a strong interest in colonial New England, especially Portsmouth society and the story of Robert Rogers and Rogers' Rangers. Several catalog records identify her as a descendant of Major Robert Rogers, which helps explain the personal connection behind some of her historical work.
