Henry Villard and the Northern Pacific is a historical book written by Robert S. MacFarlane that delves into the life and accomplishments of Henry Villard, a prominent figure in American business and politics during the late 19th century.

MacFarlane explores Villard's early life as a journalist and his later career as a railroad magnate, highlighting his successes and failures along the way. The book also touches on the political and economic climate of the time, including the impact of the Civil War and the rise of industrialization.
