Near the end of the book, Holbrook mentions Hill's agricultural interests, and his promotion of immigration to settlements along the line of the Great Northern. The subsequent depression-era failure of dryland farms in eastern Montana is covered in Bad Land: An American Romance by Jonathan Raban.
For a brief glimpse of Hill, with more detail on the Great Northern route through Washington, read Gary Krist's excellent The White Cascade: The Great Northern Railway Disaster and America’s Deadliest Avalanche. ( )
