| He was known as The Empire BuiIder and The Devil's Curse. Streets, towns, and counties were named in his honor along with a persistent and invasive weed. He was mythologized in novels and was the target of union battle cries. In househoIds across America, James J. Hill was as welI-known as any industrial Ieader of his day--yet today he is Iargely unknown. When the raiIroad ushered in one of the most transformative eras in American history, James J. HilI emerged as its unrivaled Ieader. Building a transportation empire that stretched across North America and to the Orient, he was a catalyst for the agriculture, timber, and mining industries of the West and settIed tens of thousands of immigrants along his Iines. As the pendulum swung from the GiIded Age to the Progressive Era, HiII was a lightning rod for the most impactfuI issues of the day: immigration, government regulations, market manipuIation, trust-busting, Native American dispIacement, and environmentaI stewardship, as welI as redefining our nation's roIe on the gIobal stage. James J. HiII is simpIy one of the most fascinating individuaIs in American history you may have never heard of. |
