Biographical Note
Journalist and writer Ted Morgan (pseudonym) was born in 1932 in Geneva, Switzerland. His father was a descendant of the de Gramont family, which had aristocratic roots in France. Morgan's given name was Sanche de Gramont, but by 1973 he had legalized his pseudonym Ted Morgan (an anagram of de Gramont).
Morgan earned his B.A. (summa cum laude) from Yale University in 1954 and his M.S. from Columbia University's School of Journalism in 1955. Morgan became a naturalized United States citizen in 1977.
Morgan's journalistic career included employment as a reporter with the Worcester Telegram, the Associated Press, and the New York Herald-Tribune. He has been a freelance journalist since 1964. Morgan has been honored with a number of awards, including the Pulitzer Prize (1961), the Front Page Award of the New York Newspaper Guild (1975 and 1976), the Deadline Club (New York) Award
(1976), and the New York Bar Association Media Award (1975).
Morgan published seven books as Sanche de Gramont in addition to several more as Ted Morgan, including On Becoming an American (1978), Maugham (1980), Young Man in a Hurry (Churchill 1874-1915) (1982), FDR: A Biography (1985), Literary Outlaw
(1988), and An Uncertain Hour (1990).
Scope and Content Note
The bulk of this collection consists of research materials that Ted Morgan gathered between 1983 and 1988 while researching his biography of William Burroughs, Literary Outlaw: The Life and Times of William Burroughs. William Seward Burroughs (1914-1997), a founder of the counter-culture movement, is one of the literary figures identified with the Beat Generation. A prose-poet, Burroughs was known as an experimental innovator of forms
(for example, the "cut-up" technique), form ideas, and unique narrative techniques and moods in his writings. He was the grandson of adding machine inventor and Burroughs Adding Machine Company Founder William Burroughs (1855-1898).
The collection contains audio cassette tapes and partial transcripts of Morgan's interviews with Burroughs contemporaries, notes of untaped interviews, notes taken on written materials, copies of correspondence (usually photocopied from University or library sources), correspondence, manuscript texts, and photographs. Monographs that Morgan collected for background reading have been cataloged separately. A title list is located in Box 1, Folder 2.
Series I: Personal contains biographical information about Morgan, book reviews, and three of Morgan's spiral notebooks with detailed notes.
Series II: Correspondence relates directly to developing resources and leads, researching, writing, revising, and publishing Literary Outlaw, and subsequent litigation. Many letters answer Morgan's requests for interviews, requests for permission to use certain material, or contain reminiscences, suggestions for revisions, and general comments on the biography.
Series III: Research Materials has been arranged primarily according to Morgan's original alphabetical order. This series houses photocopies of Burroughs' correspondence with such figures as Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, and Paul Bowles as well as Ted Morgan's notes and transcriptions of taped interviews. Of particular interest is the photocopied correspondence between Burroughs and his son, William S. "Billy" Burroughs Jr., Billy Burroughs' journals,
and medical records located in Box 6 documenting Billy Burroughs' 1976 liver transplant and follow-up.
Series IV: Literary Outlaw Drafts and Revisions contains manuscript texts and an uncorrected proof of Literary Outlaw. Some of these drafts include comments from William S. Burroughs and James Grauerholz.
Series V: Photographs houses images considered for or used in Literary Outlaw.
Series VI: Oral Interview Tapes contains cassette tapes of oral history interviews housed in card-file boxes.

This collection consists of seventeen boxes divided into six series:

[Identification of item], Ted Morgan Papers, MS SC MOR, Arizona State University Library.
Provenance
Arizona State University purchased these papers from Ted Morgan in 1989 to complement the Burroughs materials purchased from Robert H. Jackson in 1984. A deed of gift to ASU was signed on December 15, 1990 by William S. Burroughs in order to account for items that were Burroughs' personal property that had been loaned to Morgan. Morgan mistakenly sold these materials (manuscripts, photocopied letters, photographs, and books) to ASU. They are indicated with a * in this guide. James W.
Grauerholz, Director, William S. Burroughs communications, prepared a checklist with notes during visits to Special Collections in 1989 and 1990 that has been incorporated into this guide.
Names, addresses and telephone numbers of Burroughs sources and leads.
