== Early life ==
Brogan was born on 23 March 1896 in The Dalles, Oregon. He grew up on a stock ranch near Ashwood. As a young man, he worked on ranches in the area around Ashwood and Antelope, Oregon, and then as a sheep camp tender in the Cascade Mountains near the McKenzie Pass. Brogan served as a signalman in the United States Navy during World War I. After the war, he returned to Oregon to work on his uncle’s cattle and sheep ranch. Brogan also wrote a few articles for the Antelope ''Herald'' newspaper.〔Friedman, Ralph, ''A Touch of Oregon'', Pars Publishing Company, Portland, Oregon, 1970.〕〔("Phil Brogan was a curious man" ), Eugene ''Register-Guard'', Eugene, Oregon, 2 June 1983, p.14A.〕〔United Press International, ("Phil Brogan retired editor, dead at 87" ), ''Eugene Register-Guard'', Eugene, Oregon, 1 June 1983, p. 2A.〕
In 1919, while working at a sheep camp in the western Cascades a sheep herder from a nearby camp was murdered. Brogan was called to Eugene as a witness. While in Eugene, he applied to the University of Oregon in order to take advantage of a state education program that paid veterans $25 a month for college expenses. Because he had not finished high school, Brogan was required to take a special examination. After passing the test, he entered the university as a journalism student.〔
To earn spending money and gain reporting experience, Brogan began writing geology related articles for the Eugene ''Register-Guard''. He conducted his research while on field trips with geology professors from the university. After four years, Brogan left the University of Oregon without a degree. He was missing an algebra class and a military training course, which he had never been able to work into his schedule. When he finally received his bachelor’s degree thirty years later, it was presented by two of Brogan’s university classmates; one was governor of Oregon at the time and the other was governor of Idaho.〔〔("Bend Man to get Diploma 30 Years After College Days" ), ''The Bend Bulletin'', Bend Oregon, 13 November 1952, p. 3.〕
