Is a person born destined for greatness, or do circumstances somehow draw them to rise to that place? Born in humble circumstances, and likely seen by those around him as destined to a life behind a plow, Morgan Henry Chrysler, through bravery and devotion to his country, rose to greatness.
Born September 30, 1822, in Ghent, Columbia County, New York, Morgan Henry Chrysler was the son of Johannes Kreisler and his wife Frances.
