This book is meant to be inspirational for children who want to grow up to be millionaire business leaders. It is based partly on the original biography of Hill written by Joseph Pyle (a Hill employee) and partly on the writer's imagination.

Comfort embellishes history with lots of touches, such as romantic conversations between Hill and a waitress who he would marry. In fact, we don't even know she was a waitress (the only support is local legend).

A twelve-year old obsessed with trains might find the book interesting; for adults it is mainly an example of a writing style that is now hopefully dead.
