Richard Jameson Morgan (1850-1906) was a pioneering American newspaperman, Congregationalist minister, lecturer, and author based in Florida, where he edited and published the Sub-Peninsula Sun and St. Petersburg Times (now Tampa Bay Times) newspapers. In 1902, Florida Magazine serialized his sci-fi novella that recounts the story - presented as fact - of J. Edward Barrington's 1890s sea passage through the Antarctic ice wall where he discovers The Iron Republic, an ultramodern and technologically advanced utopian society. "Either as fact or fiction, it is a rare story and presents an ideal of society and government that will make the average reader long to be a citizen of the newly discovered Iron Republic."

Industry Reviews

"The February Florida Magazine contains the opening chapters of an unusually interesting serial entitled The Iron Republic. Its style recalls Robert Louis Stevenson, the story of Robinson Crusoe, Swiss Family Robinson, and others that deal with the unusual in a wholesome way. Its story is with scenes and ideal conditions located in the lands of the Southern Sea. An American is driven from his native land through political discomfiture, buys a ship, and journeys in search of a happier heart. The serial will form delightful reading." -The Tampa Tribune

"Mr. Richard Jameson Morgan has become known to our readers as a polished and versatile writer." -Florida Magazine

"The Iron Republic itself is what must be seen to be a communist utopia with multi-tiered bullet trains, personal flying machines, silent motor carriages, and enough paper napkins for all." -Kook Science
