Arguably no man did more to make over a city—or a state—than Henry Morrison Flagler. Almost single-handedly, he transformed the east coast of Florida from a remote frontier into the winter playground of America’s elite.Mr. Flagler’s St. Augustine tells the story of how one of the wealthiest men in America spared no expense in transforming the country’s “Oldest City” into the “Newport of the South.” He built railroads into remote areas where men feared to tread and erected palatial hotels on swampland. He funded hospitals and churches and improved streets and parks. The rich and famous flocked to his invented paradise.In tracing Flagler’s life and second career, Thomas Graham reveals much about the inner life of the former oil magnate and the demons that drove him to expand a coastal empire southward to Palm Beach, Miami, Key West, and finally Nassau. Graham also gives voice to the individuals history has forgotten: the women who wrote tourist books, the artists who decorated the hotels, the black servants who waited tables, and the journalists who filed society columns in the newspapers.Filled with fascinating details that bring the Gilded Age to life, this book will stand as the definitive history of Henry Flagler and his time in Florida.

At this time of writing, The Audiobook Mr. Flagler's St. Augustine has garnered 9 customer reviews with rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Not a bad score at all as if you round it off, it’s actually a perfect TEN already. From the looks of that rating, we can say the Audiobook is Good TO READ!

Excellent biography of Henry Flagler. The book contains great detail about Flagler's impact on St Augustine and Florida's east coast, including the building of his great hotels and the Florida East Coast Railroad. The author provides vivid descriptions of the people who populated Flagler's world. There's a lot of detail here but it is never tedious. The one area of Flagler's legacy that is more or less glossed over (presumably because it has little to do with Mr. Flagler's St. Augustine) is the extension of the railway to Key West. It's covered but not in great detail. For that reason, I would highly recommend that this book be read in conjunction with "Last Train to Paradise: Henry Flagler and the Spectacular Rise and Fall of the Railroad that Crossed an Ocean" by Les Standiford.
