Born in Ireland, Tom Connor lived the classic American rags-to-riches story. He witnessed several of the Civil Wars major battles as a newsboy with the 8th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, then spent a decade wandering around the U.S. working various odd jobs before ending up in southwest Missouri. Connor soon developed a knack for knowing which tracts of land had rich zinc deposits beneath. He bought thousands of acres of land containing the ore and was a millionaire by the time he turned 31. He also "grubstaked" countless other miners, furnishing picks, drills, and other supplies in exchange for a percentage of royalties if a strike resulted. Unlike Joplins other mining kings, Connor never built a mansion for himself, preferring to spend his money on others. He gave thousands of dollars to churches and charities in Joplin land his hometown of Tiffin, Ohio, but his greatest gift was "the finest hotel property in this part of the country." Tom Connor: Joplins Millionaire Zinc King is a companion to Joplins Connor Hotel, also written by Chad Stebbins and published by The History Press in 2021.
