Last Train to Paradise: Henry Flagler and the Spectacular Rise and Fall of the Railroad That Crossed an Ocean by Les Standiford

4.0

Historic account of Henry Flagler's quest to build a railroad down the east coast of FL from St. Augustine to Key West in the late 1800's through early 1900's. This account explores, the impact of making the east coast of FL accessible by rail, the the engineering difficulties of building a railroad in the keys, and the incredible power of destruction of hurricanes.
