Morgan: A Chronicle is a novella about a man who began life as a foundling in the Western New York hamlet of Swormville. In the summer of 1974, when he began to engage in lay preaching and faith healing as part of his "ministry", he found both fame and hatred in Western New York, across the nation, and around the globe. The book explores whether he was an inspired prophet, a divine presence, or a fraud. The narrator of the book is one of Morgan's companions, who witnessed first-hand the events of that summer and the hope and controversy that swirled around Morgan.
