Lou Rogers

Lou Rogers was a cartoonist, illustrator, writer, storyteller, public speaker, radio host, and political activist.

Born Annie Lucasta Rogers in 1879 in the small lumbering town of Patten, Maine, Lou Rogers was the fourth of seven children born to Col. Luther Bailey L. B. Rogers and Mary Elizabeth Barker Rogers. Her childhood was spent on a small farm, with vacations at the familys isolated camp at nearby Shin Pond, where pristine woodlands abutted the quiet lake. From an early age she loved to draw, producing sketches and caricatures, including ones of her teachers. The Rogers children were educated at the Patten Academy that grandfather Dr. Luther Rogers helped found. After working at a district school, Lou was hired as an assistant to teach at the Patten Academy. Education was a family value, and her siblings studied at the University of Maine and McGill University. Brother Lore Rogers became a wellknown government bacteriologist and was awarded two honorary doctorates.
