George Morgan was appointed the Indian agent in the Middle
Department and ordered him westward on a mission of peace.
The Indian nations had the military might to sway the outcome
of the American Revolution, and the British and the Americans
competed to win the favor of influential Indian leaders.

For his part, to "keep Congress informed", George Morgan
established an elaborate intelligence network spread from
Canada in the north, to the Gulf Coast in the south, and from
the Mississippi River to the Atlantic seaboard. His friends and
allies, both Indian and white, apprised him of the latest frontier
developments. In 1976, Susannah Morgan, whose late husband
was the Great-Great Grandson of Colonel Morgan, suggested to
Schaaf that he take a look at some documents in her trunk. He dis-
covered the 73 missing pages of Colonel George Morgan's 200-
year old journal.

These documents as well as letters exchanged between Morgan
and George Washington, John Hancock, and other notables of
the period. These tell the full story of the relationship between the
American rebels and the Native Americans. Morgan's journal, which
chronicles his career as an Indian agent, shows how he risked his
life and earned respect from powerful Indian Nations.
