Biography
McGee was born in Shelby County, Kentucky on May 10, 1819.[1] His family moved to Kansas City, Clay County, Missouri and then to Jackson County, Missouri where they bought a half section of land of what is now Downtown Kansas City. When McGee was 12, he ran away from home to Texas. He returned to Kansas City in 1841. He made a fortune in the California Gold Rush and used the money to build the Southern House hotel at 16th and Grand. The hotel would become a hotbed of southern sympathizers in the Bleeding Kansas war.[2] In 1854, he helped start the Kansas City Journal-Post.[3] McGee became mayor of Kansas city from 1870 to 1871, and died on February 11, 1873.[1]
