Biloine (Billie) W. Young and researcher Eileen McCormack bring to light the extraordinary life and contributions of Louis Hill Sr., the second son of James J. Hill.

Following the death of his father, Louis Hill took on the management of the Great Northern Railway and banking empire, became the major force behind the establishment and development of Glacier National Park, restored the St. Paul Winter Carnival as a city-wide celebration and equitably settled his parents’ vast estate despite, at times, bitter opposition from members of his family.
