True or not, the quote epitomizes the fearless and tenacious character of the legend who became Reno County's benefactor. Young, awestruck Carey arrived in boomtown 1880s Hutchinson and went on to create an immense empire. Coal, ice, salt, strawboard, egg cases, bags, soda ash and streetcars -- he presided over it all. From Carey's sleeping in a coal yard with a quarter in his pocket to the founding of the exclusive Willowbrook community and attaining a net worth of more than $15 million, authors Lynn Ledeboer and Myron Marcotte relate the epic story.". 588 0 Print version record. 600 10 Carey, Emerson,|d1863-1935. 650 0 Philanthropists|zKansas|zHutchinson|vBiography. 650 0 Industrialists|zKansas|zHutchinson|vBiography. 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Historical.|2bisacsh 651 0 Hutchinson (Kan.)|vBiography. 655 0 Electronic books. 700 1 Marcotte, Myron,|eauthor. 914 frd00030575
