Will Rogers

Will Rogers (b. 1879) was a social commentator and humorist born in Sequoyah when it was still called "Indian Territory", and still part of the Confederate States. He stayed there after the United States occupied it during the Great War.

While he was no fan of the U.S., Rogers was content to remain there, especially after the Freedom Party came to power in the C.S. His catchphrase was "All I know is what I read in the newspapers," a phrase that was popular throughout North America.
