Baby Harry's Hollywood

BABY HARRY'S HOLLYWOOD is the story of a Michigan farm boy who overcomes incredible handicaps to accomplish more than most people would consider humanly impossible. HARVEY HENDERSON WILCOX, in Antebellum America who, in 1845 at the age of 15, is stricken with polio that puts him into a wheelchair for the rest of his life. His indomitable spirit comes to the fore almost immediately. We all meet roadblocks during our lives and how we address and overcome them is what makes each of us unique. He moves west and becomes the Topeka, Kansas, City Council president, hunts buffalo with the likes of Bat Masterson and buys a ranch and large herd of cattle as he participates in several cattle drives from his wheelchair mounted in the back of a Studebaker farm wagon. After losing his wife to Consumption, he re-marries and moves to Los Angeles where he develops The University Tract of fine homes surrounding the new University of Southern California, and eventually platting and naming an American icon: Hollywood as a memorial to his dead son, Harry Wilcox.
