Reviews
More than just a treatment of one of the ‘great men’ of Florida history. . .it is also the biography of a city that briefly became the resort destination of choice for many affluent Americans in the Gilded Age.
--Florida Historical Quarterly
Gilded age tycoon Henry Flagler’s ambition, sagacity, and generosity along with his inner demons are revealed in Mr. Flagler’s St. Augustine, a study of how the entrepreneur changed the Ancient City and, ultimately, Florida’s East Coast.

It would be difficult to imagine a more comprehensive account of Flagler’s life or St. Augustine’s growth from the 1880s through 1913.
