About the author
Born in Derry, New Hampshire, in 1869, Mary Cochrane Rogers was an American writer remembered for historical works rooted in New England's past. Records describing her papers identify her as a teacher and historian based in Boston, and note that she researched both her family history and the life of her great-great-grandfather, Robert Rogers of Rogers' Rangers.
Her books include Rogers' Rock, Lake George, March 13, 1758: A Battle Fought on Snow Shoes and Glimpses of an Old Social Capital (Portsmouth, New Hampshire). Across this work, she focused on colonial history, genealogy, and the people and places connected to early New Hampshire.
Although not widely known today, her writing remains useful to readers interested in regional history and the French and Indian War, especially where family memory and archival research meet.
