Murray Morgan (1916-2000) was a historian of the Puget Sound region and history teacher at Tacoma Community College. His book Skid Road, and informal portrait of Seattle, was said to be the "longest-running Pacific Northwest book in print."
Morgan authored or co-authored 19 books including The Last Wilderness, A Range of Glaciers: The Exploration and Survey of the Northern Cascade Range, and Confederate Raider in the North Pacific: The Saga of the C.S.S. Shenandoah, 1864-65.
