An Early Empire Builder


THEY say that trade follows the
1 flag but quite ms often THE flag
follows trade" and 1t Is not at all
impossible that the American flag
might not have flown over the Middle
West If George Morgan, trader, had
not shown 1t the way before the Revo-
luton. AS the junior member of the
famous firm of Baynton, Wharton and
Morgan. Indian traders, this young
philadelphia took charge of Its new
ly-organized Indiana company In the
Illinois country which Great Britain
had lust taken over from France.
From the beginning Morgan made
himself popular with the wild Indian
trlbesmen of the West. In fact, the
Delawares thought so highly OF him
that they conferred upon him the
name OF their greatest entertain,
TaImenend. or Tammany. Unlike so
many other white men OF the time, he
treated the Indians kindly and justly
and SO great was his influence over
them that soon after the outbreak OF
the Revolution the Continental con-
gress appointed him Indian agent at
Fort Pitt.
Finding himself thwarted and his
advice on how to handle the West
ern Indians to keep them neutral I'M
needed, Morgan resigned In ITO and
returned East where he entered the
/ Continental army and rose to the rank
ar colonel At the close OF the war
he settled In Princeton. N. j., where
no became a leading citizen and a
trustee of the college.
But this empire-builder could not
resIgn himself to life In quiet col
laga town. During his career as a
trader In the West, he had seen the
vast possibilities of that region and
ha Ind spent almost as much time In
encouraging the development of agri-
culture there as In his trading actiyi-
tics So ID 1888 he vlsioned a Tito
man colony beyond the Mississippi IN
der the flag OF Spain. He secured o
huoa tract Of 100000 acres and
founded the town Of New Madrid OPP
nosIte the mouth of the Ohio.
Rut the plotting of Gen. James VIII
klnson checked the development OF the
nlan and when the new federal gov
arnment under the Constitution ex
tended It's power In the West, Morgan
abandoned his project entirely, retlr
ino IN 1906 to a vast estate. Nor
