Morrah, P. Bradley, Jr. (1915-1992)
Papers, 1931-1990, 3.75 ft.
During his time in the state legislature, Morrah and several others, including John West, Earle Morris, and Marshall Parker, banded together to pursue their legislative goals in an informal group they called "the left field boys." The group challenged the old-line establishment represented by Edgar Brown and Marion Gressette.
Collection Finding Aid
The collection documents Morrah's service in the South Carolina Senate (Greenville
County area), 1953-1966. Personal papers chiefly document his political campaigns,
notably his pursuit of a circuit judgeship, 1961-1962, and his 1966 bid for the U.
S. Senate. Clippings touch upon his WWII years and cover his 1966 Senate race in depth.
