Just by accident I found this treasure and hated for it to end. Fueled by my interested in "the men who built America" series - nice to know Rockefeller and Flagler were partners at Standard Oil....it was just something we could not imagine happening in this day and age.
I prefer history - and the journey deep into Florida could not parallel exploring the Amazon or the first explorers in any country for that matter. Gripping, dramatic (storms), political in nature - this just could not happy in the 21st Century....Mr. Flagler was a man way ahead of his time - and put his money where his dreams were.....the stuff hero's are made of.
