In-depth and definitive

This book gives a good treatment of Henry M. Flagler. Tracing the years of his childhood, up through Standard Oil, and on to the expansion of the Florida East Coast Railway, finally reaching Key West. Often overlooked by rail historians, Henry Flagler should be remembered alongside the likes of great railroad pioneers such as James Hill and The Big Four.
