Abstract
A former colleague of mine once remarked of James J. Hill, with some emphasis, that he was a "great man!" This statement seems subject to some qualifications, which my colleague did not provide, but which Claire Strom offers in Profiting from the Plains. Hill, the "empire builder," was a great man with many shortcomings, not the least of which was his conception of himself as a great man.
