“R” is for Rogers, George Calvin, Jr. (1922-1997). Author, historian. A native of Charleston, Rogers obtained his doctorate from the University of Chicago. In 1958 he joined the history department at the University of South Carolina. Rogers’s first book, Evolution of a Federalist: William Loughton Smith of Charleston was a biography of a South Carolina planter-politician. This study demonstrated his knowledge of political biography, elite culture, and the politics of the new nation—subjects that informed his life’s work. Rogers was editor of the South Carolina Historical Magazine (1965-1970) and the chief editor of the Papers of Henry Laurens (1971-1981). He served on the boards of the South Carolina Tricentennial Commission, the South Carolina Archives and History Commission, and the South Carolina Historical Society. George Calvin Rogers, Jr., was a member of the American Antiquarian Society.
