Malone (read 4 Oct 2007) This is a biography of James Hill, but concentrates on his business endeavors, especially the development of railroads, culminating in the Great Northern. At times it tends to be rather dry, and does not compare with great business biographies, such as Ron Chernow's and Jean Strouse's of J. P. Morgan. But it tells of the work of Hill and of the tremendous influence he exerted in his day. ( ) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

In this volume, Michael P. Malone provides a succinct interpretive biography of James J. Hill, the "Empire Builder"-so called for his work in developing the region of the United States between the Great Lakes and the Pacific Northwest. Malone explores Hill's complex life and personality, his activities and interests, and recreates both the story of the railroad race to the Pacific and the complex interactions involved in the development of the region. "Michael Malone has written a model. . . .interpretative biography of James J. Hill. He has drawn on the research of others, published and unpublished, as he says, but also on his own knowledge of American economic development in Hill's time as a leading historian of mining and of a state in whose development Hill's railroads were major factors." -Earl Pomeroy, Professor of History, Retired, University of Oregon and University of California, San Diego No library descriptions found. |
