"Tobacco made [James B. Duke] one of the richest men in the world, and he created a worldwide market for North Carolina’s signature crop...although he had a Fifth Avenue mansion in New York, although he had tobacco interests around the world and hydroelectric projects as far afield as Quebec, when he turned to philanthropy, he remained a man of the Carolinas."
- Duke of Carolina, Philanthropy Roundtable
