Morgan

Morgan Valley lies along the Weber River in the mountains east of the Great Salt Lake. Shoshone and Ute people knew the river valleys and mountain approaches long before the arrival of fur trappers. In the 1820s British and American parties entered the country in search of beaver. Competition came to a head near Mountain Green in 1825, when men from Peter Skene Ogden's Hudson's Bay Company party deserted to join American trappers, and Ogden withdrew from the valley.
