Henry Darwin Rogers was one of the first professional geologists in the US. His major interest was the Appalachian Mountains, which Rogers saw as great folds of sedimentary rock. He belived that an interpretation of these folds would lead to an understanding of the dynamic processes that had shaped the earth. From Rogers' efforts came the first uniquely American theory of mountain elevation, a theory that Rogers personally considered his most significant achievement.
