William Charles Rogers
William Charles Rogers (1847-1917) was born in the Cherokee Nation near present-day Skiatook, Oklahoma, USA, on December 13, 1847. A Confederate veteran and successful farmer, he entered tribal politics in 1881.〔("Chief Thomas Mitchell Buffington and Chief William Charles Rogers," ''Chronicles of Oklahoma''. Volume 17, Number 2. June 1939. ) Accessed August 15, 2015.〕
After serving as a representative and a senator in the Cherokee Council, he was elected Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation in 1903, defeating E. L. Cookson. He served during the final liquidation of the Cherokee government by the United States of America and the establishment of the state of Oklahoma in 1906-7. He remained as Principal Chief, but with greatly diminished powers, performing largely ceremonial functions for the tribe until his death.
==Early life==
William Charles Rogers was the son of Charles Coody Rogers and Elizabeth McCorkle. After being educated in tribal schools, he decided to become a farmer like his father. He acquired a tract of land about north of present-day Skiatook, Oklahoma, and began his own farm. In 1877, he constructed a general store on his own land on Bird Creek and established the original town of Skiatook.〔
Rogers enlisted in the Confederate Army on July 12, 1861, and served as a private for the duration of the conflict in Company E in the First Regiment of Cherokee Volunteers.〔 After the war, he returned to his farm.
