Hill was born and raised in southwestern Virginia and became a writer for his father's newspaper at the early age of thirteen, which would shape his career for decades. Hill claimed to be an attorney though this has been disputed, although he did work for Rufus Ayers, who was a former Attorney General for the state of Virginia.
