James J. Hill and the Opening of the Northwest
Andrew Carnegie and the Rise of Big Business
James J. Hill and the First Energy Revolution
Led by James J. Hill, a group of businessmen expanded the use of coal as a fuel in the Northwest by monopolizing the market, apportioning the business among a limited number of people, maintaining prices, profit margins, and profit flow, thereby establishing a reputation of dependability for the fuel and a source of risk capital for further investment in the industry.
