I think the most interesting of image collections is the Minnesota Historical Library Collections.
After getting into the Minnesota Historical Society's website you can look under collections and find a photo and art database
which has the most amazing of photographs. Under James J. Hill there were 167 images and although the rather formal and ordinary one is amongst them, I was able to detect the one that was a favorite of those of us that worked at Hill Library and had access to the more personal collections of his pictures and was that of one of him holding a cat.
It was 133 in the pictures and is a very warm and human picture of Hill as opposed to the majority of them that make him appear quite untouchable.
