'''Burl Lee Noggle''' (July 1, 1924 – November 6, 2013), was an [[United States|American]] [[historian]] who from 1960 to 1995 was a [[professor]] at [[Louisiana State University]] in [[Baton Rouge, Louisiana|Baton Rouge]], [[Louisiana]].
==Background==
Noggle was born to the late Walter Farris Noggle and the former Annie Bell Greene in [[rural]] Bostic in Rutherford County in western [[North Carolina]]. He was educated in the public schools of Morganton in Burke County, also in western North Carolina. In 1943, he enlisted in the [[United States Marine Corps]] and served in the [[Asiatic-Pacific Theater|South Pacific]] on the island of [[Saipan]]. Subsequently, under the [[G. I. Bill of Rights]], he attended [[Duke University]] in Durham, North Carolina, where he was elected to [[Phi Beta Kappa]] in 1950. He received from Duke a Bachelor of Arts, [[Master of Arts]], and [[Ph.D.]] in history in 1950, 1951, and 1955, respectively.<ref name=brma/>
==Historian==
From 1955 to 1960, Noggle taught [[Latin America]]n history and Western Civilization at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, [[New Mexico]]. In the fall of 1960, he came to LSU, where he focused primarily in the classroom upon historiography and Twentieth Century U.S. history. He taught survey courses, undergraduate classes, honors classes, graduate seminar], and special topics and readings courses. During several summers he taught at his ''alma mater.'' Duke, and at [[Johns Hopkins University]] in [[Baltimore]], [[Maryland]]. Professor Noggle employed not only traditional methods of instruction but works of popular culture and fiction, including [[John Dos Passos]]’ ''U.S.A.'' trilogy,<ref name=lsupress/> film, photography, and popular music, to highlight U.S. history from 1900 to 1950. He added a new course, "The Age of Roosevelt,'' to the LSU history offerings. He taught the seminar on historiography for twenty-five years. In his later years, he began to focus on the American West, a subject which had whetted his academic appetite while he lived in New Mexico.<ref name=brma/>
