Kemp Morgan


Kemp Morgan or Gib Morgan 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. Morgan was said to be a rotary oil driller with an amazing power of olfaction, allowing him to smell oil underground. Morgan is possibly a creation of fakelore, rather than a genuine folk hero.
