abstract
  • William Ledyard Rodgers (February 4, 1860 – May 7, 1944) was a vice admiral of the United States Navy. His career included service in the Spanish-American War and World War I, and a tour as President of the Naval War College. Rodgers was also a noted historian on military and naval topics, particularly relating to ancient naval warfare. He was the third generation in a well-known family of able naval officers. He was the son of Rear Admiral John Rodgers (1812-1882), who fought in the Second Seminole War (1839-1842) and the American Civil War (1861-1865), and the grandson of Commodore John Rodgers (1772-1838), who fought in the War of 1812 (1812-1814). Rodgers's own son, John Rodgers, born in 1881, also served as a U.S. Navy officer and was an early aviator, reaching the rank of commander before dying in a plane crash in 1926.
