Michael Morey is a writer and independent historian. He lives in Sonoma County, California.

"With dedicated sleuthing, informed speculation, and gifted storytelling style, Morey sheds new light on David Fagen, an African American insurgent against U.S. colonialism, who has long remained as elusive to historians as he was to the American soldiers that chased him through Philippine forests over a century ago." - Paul Kramer, author of The Blood of Government: Race, Empire, the United States, and the Philippines"A model for how to take a mythic figure, about whom very little documentation exists, and successfully transform him into a living, breathing man whose life is a window to understanding the meaning of race, war, and masculinity in American society." - Jennifer D. Keene, author of Doughboys, the Great War, and the Remaking of America
