In 1900 Harvey moved to Rogers and began the resort of Monte Ne. He organized the Ozark Trails Association in 1913 to promote better roads and adequately mark them. By 1920 he was increasingly pessimistic, convinced of the imminent fall of civilization. He planned to build a “pyramid” at Monte Ne to act as a time capsule and warning for future generations; however he was never able to complete it. In 1932 Harvey ran for President of the United States on his Liberty Party ticket, receiving over 53,000 votes, mostly from western states. “Coin” Harvey died in 1936 and was buried at Monte Ne.
