Description

James Jerome Hill was born near Toronto, Canada, but came to the United States looking for work. Mostly by chance he stopped at St. Paul, Minnesota, working in the river shipping trade, always looking for ways to make it more efficient. He decided railroads would solve the problems of inland transportation and succeeded in building the Great Northern Railroad.
