UPDATED MARCH 22, 2025:

The last few days I’ve had the privilege of watching the four episodes on the life of James J. Hill.   HERE is the link to the four episodes. An earlier promotional link about the series can be read here.  The portion about the link to the series there is outdated, bu the other information remains consistent with the program that I saw.

He was born 1838 in what is now rural Guelph Ontario; and from 1856 till his death in 1916, St. Paul MN was his home.

If you have any interest in history, particularly if your personal history includes the midwest or northwest United States, you’ll want to carve out the time to watch this.
