About the Book

Most people have used the colloquialism, "What in Sam Hill?" Few, however, know of his accomplishments as an entrepreneur around the turn of the 20th century. This biographical study follows the amazing life of an Empire Builder, as he associates with finaciers and inventors, like J. P Morgan, Thomas Edison, Alexander Bell, Grover Cleveland, Henry Ford, Queen Marie of Romania, and the incomperable women in his life like Mary Hill, Loie Fuller and Mona Bell. His architecture and advanced design of such stuctures as Maryhill Museum, and his own commemorative Stonehenge, near Portland, Oregon, the Great Northern Railroad, the Hill Mansion in Seattle, the Peace Arch on the border of Washington and Canada and hard surface roads on the west coast, are just a few. The ironic subjects of this book, of course, are his connections with important people around the world, his influence after WWI, the discovery of the remains of the Pilgrim ship, Mayflower, in Jordons, England, his lagitimate and illigitimate children, and finally, fifty-five years later, the discovery of an original Rembrandt portrait, dated 1634, in a forgotten storage facility in Portland, Oregon. (estimated value 50-80 million dollars) If one would read this novel, only to find out, "what happened to the Mayflower," it will be well worth one's effort. The Mayflower story has long been forgotten since 1918, and needs rejuvenation for all, in the 21st century. This novel is filled with facts and researched scenarios. Some love scenes have been embellished by the author and reading is not recommended for children. Supporting novels by the same author may be the following: I'm Not Titus Hjalmer and Hilma's Magic Cache The Tick Licker Obituary of Charlie Whitehorse The Saga of Dry Run The 100 Yard Dash
