This biographical text explores Morgan’s life and accomplishments, including his career in banking and his involvement in the steel industry, General Electric, and International Harvester. Through curriculum-focused text, primary sources, historical photographs, and a timeline, readers gain a full understanding of why Morgan is known as one of the United States’ greatest entrepreneurs.
