This is the most complete biography of Morgan, a pioneering anthropologist, social theorist, railroad lawyer, and advocate for Native Americans, to date. Morgan explained how humans evolved beyond nature to both the splendor and squalor of the Industrial Age and offered an unprecedented analysis of the interplay between family, property relations, the state, and the human mind. Moses presents Morgan s life in great detail and tells how even today Morgan s influence is felt among environmentalists, anarchists, feminists, and other social visionaries.
