Patrick Rogan (Medal of Honor)

Patrick Rogan (c. 1847 – December 17, 1912) was an Irish-American US Army soldier who received the Medal of Honor for his actions during the Indian Wars.

Shortly after immigrating to the United States, Rogan was paid $625 to be a substitute for a man recently called up for the draft.

He enlisted in the army in February 1865, serving during the final months of the American Civil War.

During his second enlistment, he served with his brother-in-law under colonel John Gibbon in the Nez Perce War.

Following his retirement, Rogan was employed as a night watchman for the Union Pacific Coal Company.
