Henry Flagler, Visonary of the Gilded Age.
The fascinating story of a turn-of-the-century business career. Henry Flagler left home at the age of 14 to seek his fortune- and made two. He formed a partnership with John D. Rockefeller soon after oil was discovered. When asked if the Standard Oil Company was the result of his thinking, Rockefeller said,"I wish I had the brains to think of it. It was Henry M. Flagler." Flagler began his 'retirement' in Florida. he believed in the east coast and created hotels, railroads, communities, model farms, and more from Jacksonville to Key West including major development efforts in St. Augustine, Palm Beach, and Miami.
