CHARLES HILL MORGAN’S QUALITIES of “initiative, determination, persistence, courage and incisive directness,” as a Worcester Magazine obituary noted, were passed down through the generations to his great-grandson, Paul S. Morgan. When Paul commissioned this work in 2006, little did he know the project would stretch over eight years. He encouraged, and at times, cajoled this work to its completion. He remained steadfast in his desire to have his ancestor’s story told so that future generations would recognize his achievements and learn from his approach to life.
Paul’s death at age 88 in September 2012 was a great loss to many people for so many reasons. He had read and commented on every chapter of this book. Only the introductory section and epilogue were missing at the time of his passing. Because of his persistence—and his firm belief that this project would indeed reach a satisfactory conclusion—I dedicate this book posthumously to Paul Shepard Morgan.
