Product Description
The J. C. Nichols Chronicle: The Authorized Story of the Man and His Company, 1880-1994 (9780700606856): Robert Pearson, Jesse C. Nicholas, Brad Pearson: Books. Impressive. The Pearsons tell the story of Nichols and his company in more detail than anyone else. In the process, they explain Nichols' guiding philosophy and put events into the context of their times. This book stands as a statement by the founder and his heirs and successors about engineering the good life in the suburbs, about uplifting the tone of community life, about the relationships between community institutions and Nichols' philanthropies and business interests, even about family values and business ethics. It contains explanations and vignettes, I feel sure, that will become a part of future histories of mid-America. Kansas Citians and scholars alike will find this authorized account very useful.--Richard D. McKinzie, coauthor of At the River's Bend: A History of Kansas City, Independence, and Jackson County, Missouri
