Famous quotes containing the word morgan:

    “O, pluck was he to the backbone and clear grit through and through;
    Boasted and bragged like a trooper; but the big words wouldn’t do;
    The boy was dying, sir, dying, as plain as plain could be,
    Worn out by his ride with Morgan up from the Tennessee.”
    —Constance Fenimore Woolson (1840–1894)
