In July 1789 George Cadogan Morgan, born in Bridgend, Wales, and
the nephew of the celebrated radical dissenter Richard Price
(1723-91), found himself caught up in the opening events of the
French Revolution and its consequences. In 1808, his family left
Britain for America where his son, Richard Price Morgan, travelled
extensively, made a descent of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers by
raft and helped build some of the early American railroads. The
adventures of both men are related here via letters George sent
home to his family from France and through the autobiography
written by his son in America.
