Century Memorial
In the business directories, Archibald Rogers was classified as railroad constructor and mechanical engineer, but he would have classified himself as sportsman. He was a golf enthusiast in the remote days when that pastime was an exotic in America, commonly regarded as a peculiar and characteristic institution of the Scotch. He was Master of the Hounds at his country-place, the first captain of the Myopia’s polo team, a noted yachtsman, and a hunter of whom it was said that he made twenty-six excursions in twenty-four years into the Western haunts of American big game.
