Morgan authored the section titled 'Mountain States.' This monumental travel and tour guide to the United States and its cities includes notes on mileage and tours, sites of interest accessible by automobile, and historical sketches of localities. The publication of a work of this nature reflects the increase of leisure and travel in the U.S. and the attendant prosperity after the conclusion of the Second World War.
