Captain in the Union Army during the American Civil War on General Fremont's staff.
A member of Henry Ward Beecher's Plymouth Church, Raymond held degrees from the Brookfield Polytechnic Institute (1857), Lafayette College (PhD 1868), Leigh University (LLD 1906), and the University of Pittsburgh (honorary LLD. 1915).
He served as the United States Commissioner of Mining Statistics, and was secretary of the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgy, and Petroleum Engineers (1884-1911). In 1945, the institute named its Rossiter W. Raymond Memorial Award after him, to recognize the best paper published by a member under 33 years of age. Rossiter lived in Brooklyn, New York, at least part of his life, and wrote at least one Western novel:
Brave Hearts, 1873.
Probably his most famous quote:
Life is eternal; and love is immortal; and death is only a horizon; and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.
