Wright, Harry T.
Harry T. Wright (March 7, 1845 - December 31, 1907) was an American bookseller, stationer, and publisher. Born in Xenia, Ohio, Wright moved to Kansas City when he was twenty-one years old and opened a small news stand in the post office. This stand proved to be the beginning of the Kansas City Book and News Company, founded by Wright a few years later and operated by him until 1901 when he was forced to retire due to health reasons. Wright married Lila Turner in July 1872, with whom he had at least three children.
