Kemp Morgan
Kemp Morgan or Gib Morgan (1842-1909) is a character from American folklore, particularly appearing in tall tales. Kemp Morgan stories are said to have appeared in the oil fields of Texas and Oklahoma, where he was a folk hero similar to Paul Bunyan or John Henry.〔Folk-say: A Regional Miscellany, 1929-32, ed. Benjamin Albert Botkin, University of Oklahoma Press, 1930, Volume 2 pp. 382, 385〕〔Man, Bird, and Beast, Stith Thompson and James Frank Dobie, Texas Folklore Society 1926, Issues 5-7, p. 46〕 Morgan was said to be a rotary oil driller with an amazing power of olfaction, allowing him to smell oil underground. 〔American Folklore: An Encyclopedia, ed. Jan Harold Brunvand, Taylor & Francis, 1996, p. 1105〕 Morgan is possibly a creation of fakelore, rather than a genuine folk hero.〔American Folklore: An Encyclopedia, ed. Jan Harold Brunvand, Taylor & Francis, 1996, p. 1105〕 == References ==
