Lewis H. Morgan was born in Aurora, Cayuga 

 County, N. T., i^ovember 21, 1818. He was 

 graduated by Union College, Schenectady, in the 

 class of 1840. Returning from college to Aurora, 

 Mr. Morgan Joined a secret society composed of 

 the young men of the village and known as the 

 Grand Order of the Iroquois. This had a great 

 influence iipon his future career and studies. 

 The order was instituted for sport and amuse- 

 ment, but its organization was modeled on the 

 governmental system of the Six Nations ; and, 

 chiefly under Mr. Morgan's direction and lead- 

 ership, the objects of the order were extended, 

 if not entirely changed, and its jiurposes 

 improved. To become better acquainted with 

 the social polity of the Indians, yomig Morgan 

 visited the aborigines remaining in New York, 

 a mere remnant, but yet retaining to a great 

 extent their ancient laws and customs ; and he 

 went so far as to be adopted as a member by the 

 Senecas. Before the council of the order, in 

 the years 1844, 1845, and 1846, he read a series of 

 papers on the Iroquois, which were published 

 under the nom de plume of " Skenandoah." 

 Mr. Morgan died in Rochester, N. Y., Decem- 

 ber 17, 1881.
