This is a fascinating story about Henry Flagler, man who had the vision to build a railroad to Key West.  I got a bit bogged down with some of the technical descriptions of bridge and railroad construction midway through the book, but the story itself is very interesting and the description of the devastation wrought by the various storms livened it up.

I would recommend the book to anyone with an interest in Florida history and/or environment.
