Will Rogers, Writer
Home | About | Links | Contact

Welcome to a web blog for appreciation of good writing

Will Rogers (1879-1935) was a man of many talents: star of stage, screen and radio; goodwill ambassador; aviation enthusiast; book author; newspaper columnist; and humanitarian.  This weblog focuses on his role as a writer.  Will Rogers wrote more than 4,000 columns, syndicated in 600 newspapers, in addition to six books.  In this blog you'll find my observations on his literary contributions, which I hope will invite comments from others.  I'll also include other good writing examples and references.  Although Rogers was known for his political commentary, this is not the place for airing opinions on public issues and politics.  There are many other blogs to serve that purpose.  I'll share information I've gathered (see Will Rogers and Writing) and provide links to other sources on the web.  I  hope you'll find the discussion interesting and enlightening.
