Dog Sled to Private Car: Peregrinating Hills
Author: Thomas C. Buckley
The James J. Hill’s fortune was based on transportation. Not surprisingly, the family used some of the money to travel by every means at hand. This article recounts many of their travels: by dogsled, rail, yacht and steamship, automobile, and even on foot, for business and for pleasure. “Even in today’s era of massive long-distance travel by jet and auto, few can match the peregrinating Hills of the early twentieth century.”
